Each language's Wiktionary version can contain entries for any word in any language. We currently only extract the native ones, but making it possible to extract all entries is very useful. We have to understand a setting to allow choosing which entry should be pasted to the note.

One related issue that we should think of is how to handle the case where there are multiple entries of a single word belonging to the same language (e.g. different entries for nouns and verbs). Should we dump all of them together to the same note?

Probably an issue in ZIMply/ZIMply-core. Reported in kimbauters/ZIMply#31

Currently, the pop-up dictionary is simply swallowing up the errors, as it doesn't seem to visibly affect resource loading as far as I can tell.

Would it be possible to also include IPA transcriptions into the German Wiktionary Parser ?

We should add some tests for dictionary parsing to ensure regressions are caught. Running the tests on GitHub actions would be nice too.

The images from the Wiktionary in .zim format are very small.

When one tries to see the images on Anki the size is not adequate and then one needs to manually resize.

Would it be possible an option to automatically resize the images to a "default value" with the add-on ?

For example > 800 x 800 or something similar conserving the original size ratio.

Here is the "original size":

libzim is the official implementation of the ZIM specification. It has Python bindings and is more tested and maintained than ZIMply/ZIMply-core.

One issue though is that no binaries are provided for libzim at the moment, so we have to compile it ourselves. I've not been successful so far and this was my prime reason for choosing ZIMply, but the latter has its issues: #3

Would it be possible to add support for the "Russian Wiktionary" in .zim format ?

That Wiktionary is one of the most complete and the HTML structure seems to be very well standardized.

Some time ago, I contacted you via "Fiverr" to add "German Support" to this add-on when you were in the initial phase of development. I am glad to have supported your work since this add-on has improved my German skills drastically. Thank you.

I will be glad to support you again via "Fiverr" if you could add the "Russian Language". Please let me know if it would be possible... :D

A feature that allows users to look up words/terms in cards then pops up a dictionary view in a tooltip (Like Pop-up Dictionary) will be great to have.

Some notes about how this should be implemented:

• Imported dictionaries should be served over a local server that makes available the requested HTML and other resources of a queried word. I've already written a working implementation in Flask, with the help of mediasrv.py from Anki. More work needs to be done though if we want to support serving multiple dictionaries at the same time with an option to switch the active one.
• We can use Tippy.js for the tooltips.

Zimit is a service that lets you create a ZIM file from any website: https://youzim.it/

I've not had much success viewing a ZIM file created with it with this add-on or ZIMply. Specifically the .search() function returns correct results, but no URL returned by it gives results with .get_article().

The files work fine with Kiwix-serve though, so this looks like a ZIMply-specific issue.

I should write a working python-libzim prototype and test things on it.

Hello, and first thank you for this plugin!
I would like it to have support for French, and I tried looking into the code of the parsers for other languages, but I’m not really sure how it works, nor how I can look into ZIM files to understand their structure and write a parser for them… How much effort do you think it would be to add support for the French language? :)

See TODO note in settings.py

The add-on cannot be used on the latest version of Anki!

Would it be possible to find a solution ? I helped to fund the add-on adding German support via a freelancer platform but now this critical errors makes it impossible to use ! :(

Best regards from Germany....
