Dictionaries

Yomichan can import and use a variety of dictionary formats. Unneeded dictionaries can be disabled, or you can simply purge the database to delete everything.

Deleting individual dictionaries is not currently feasible due to limitations of browser database technology.

Specify the information you would like included in your flashcards in the field editor below.
