- Usage conditions can be assigned such that certain profiles are automatically used in different contexts. - For example, when Popup Content Scanning is enabled, different profiles can be used - depending on the level of the popup. -

- -

- Conditions are organized into groups which represent how the conditions are checked. - If all of the conditions in any group are met, then the profile will automatically be used for that context. - If no conditions are specified, the profile will only be used if it is selected as the Active profile. -

Translation Options

- -

- The following options can be used during the translation process to provide alternate versions of the input text to search for. - This can be helpful when the input text doesn't exactly match the term or expression found in the database. -

- -

- The conversion options below are listed in the order that the conversions are applied to the input text. - Conversions commonly have three possible values: -

- -

- Disabled
- This conversion will never be applied to the input text. -
- Enabled
- This conversion will always be applied to the input text. -
- Use both variants
- The translator will check the database for two variations: the raw input text and the converted input text. - When multiple options use variants, the translator will search for combinations of the converted text. -

- -

- Convert half width characters to full width (ﾖﾐﾁｬﾝ → ヨミチャン) - -

- -

- Convert numeric characters to full width (1234 → １２３４) - -

- -

- Convert alphabetic characters to hiragana (yomichan → よみちゃん) - -

- -

- Convert hiragana to katakana (よみちゃん → ヨミチャン) - -

- -

- Convert katakana to hiragana (ヨミチャン → よみちゃん) - -

- -

- Collapse emphatic character sequences (すっっごーーい → すっごーい / すごい) - -

- - - -

Text Parsing Options

- -

- Yomichan can attempt to parse entire sentences or longer text blocks on the search page, - adding furigana above words and a small space between words. -

- -

- Two types of parsers are supported. The first one, enabled by default, works using the built-in - scanning functionality by automatically advancing in the sentence after a matching word. -

- -

- The second type is an external program called MeCab - that uses its own dictionaries and a special parsing algorithm. To get it working, you must first - install it and a native messaging component - that acts as a bridge between the program and Yomichan. -

- -

- Enable text parsing using installed dictionaries -

- -

- Enable text parsing using MeCab -

- -

- Enable small spaces between parsed words -

- -

- Reading mode - -

- -

Dictionaries

- -

- Yomichan can import and use a variety of dictionary formats. Unneeded dictionaries can be disabled. -

- -

- Main dictionary for merged mode - -

- - - - - -

- - - -

- Select a dictionary to import for use below. Please visit the Yomichan homepage to - download free dictionaries - for use with this extension and to learn about importing proprietary EPWING dictionaries. -

- - - -

- -

Dictionary Options

- -

- Enable prefix wildcard searches -

- This option only applies to newly imported dictionaries. - Enabling this option will also cause dictionary data to take up slightly more storage space. -

- - - - - - - - - - -

- -

Storage

- - - -

- Yomichan is using an indeterminate amount of storage. -

- - -

- - - -

- If you are using Firefox for Android, you will have to make sure you have enough free space on your device to install dictionaries. -

You can use multiple markers per field by typing them in directly. - See Flashcard Configuration - on the Yomichan homepage for descriptions of the available markers. -
