simjanos-dev··on LinguaCafe: Self-hosted software for language learners to read foreign languages
Hi!

I'll release a v0.4 update tomorrow or after. It makes a lot of things more simpler, I would recommend to wait for it before you install it. After that update I'll work on Chinese dictionaries and issues. It will take 1-2 days. It will have two built-in dictionaries for Chinese: cc-cedict and wiktionary.

Hi!

I've added Chinese as an "experimental" language. I couldn't find a dictionary for it yet, and it might need a custom font type. DeepL works as well. I will fix the font issue soon.

Hi!

I've added Chinese. However i couldn't find a dictionary for it yet, and it might need a custom font for Chinese characters. DeepL works with it as well. If it has issues, I will fix it soon.

Hi!

I've added Korean as an "experimental" language. You can try it out if you would like to.

Hi!

I thought of it as a niche feature because I thought most of the users would come from language learning communities, where most people are not into self-hosting. So even if someone would set up a server just for this, chances are they do not have or interested in Jellyfin also. But I've seen several comments about it, and it seems like a lot of people are from the self-hosting community so maybe it's more popular.

I'm also planning to support YouTube and improve on Jellyfin support, but I'll work on other issues and features first.

I installed it on a PC, and access it from my tablet's browser. I do not know how much battery draw it has.

Hi!

Thank you for helping me learn Japanese! :)

Can you please explain what do you mean by actively supporting JMDict? I hope I didn't make an attribution mistake, or misunderstood something. My understanding is that I can use those files in my project as long as I follow the license guidelines.

It makes me really happy that so many people are interested in it. :)

Hey guys. I wrote LinguaCafe. I didn't know it was posted here, I've just read it now.

I didn't think this many people would be interested. I'll write a guide for Jellyfin, then add Italian, French and Dutch languages tomorrow.
