Japanese Example Sentences

8.70MB. Updated 2014-09-25.

Description

Current Version: r11 (24-09-2014) Do not start the list of examples with a newline Description: This addon makes a few changes to the original plugin, the most important one of course being compatibility with Anki 2. Other changes are:

Prefers checked sentences (~) over non-checked sentences. Will add "{CHECKED}" add the end of the translation for those sentences. Please note that there aren't that many checked sentences available.
Prefers shorter sentences over longer ones.
Offers a bulk-add option to permanently write examples to the destination field. Writes 5 sentences by default. Especially useful for mobile users. To use this option, go to "Browse -> Edit -> Bulk-add Examples"
Automatically adds examples when adding cards. This feature can be disabled in the python file.
If no example sentences are found based on the Expression field, it will use part of the expression up to ／/, and then it will try to remove braces, and search on that. E.g. "チラシ／ぶら" will result in looking for "チラシ", and "静か（な）" will result in looking for "静かな".

Feel free to download a newer version of the example sentences database. I got the current version on 2012-12-25, from http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/examples.utf.gz . How to use/install: Please make sure you have a field called "Expression", and a field called "Examples" (this is the field the add-on will fill with its data; you can change these in the header of the python field). You can add fields by going to Add->Fields. Don't forget to actually make this field show up on your cards by adding it to your card template (i.e. something like "{{Examples}}" on the back template) Aside from that, you need to make sure to have "example_sentences" in your model name. To rename your note type, go to Add -> Click on "your_current_note_name" -> Manage -> Rename. If you run into trouble, or just can't figure out where all these options are, send me an email. I'm more than happy to help! Contact Info: For the online git repository, see https://github.com/javdejong/japanese-examples . Apparently there's not much of a conversation possible using the comment section here, so you are free to send any complaints/feature requests using github, or send an email to javdejong@gmail.com. Pull requests or patches can also be sent via github.

Good but, a bit more flexibily would be useful

Perhaps you could update the script to give us the option to separate Japanese sentences from the translation, i.e., the option to place the J sentence in a certain field and the English Sentence in a certain field, well at least for me it'd be really useful.

Extremely useful!

I started using this app today and I can see how it's gonna improve the quality of my flashcards a lot.
I was so close to starting to do it manually which woulda been a pain...
Anyhow, sometimes cards that i have will have multiple Kanji usages in the Expression field (i import from Imiwa). They are seperated by " , " (just the comma..). The Add-On can't find any examples for those obviously and I was wondering if maybe a method similar to the whole bracket or / would work there---

Good application

Really good application which makes my life much easier. The only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it needs a function that would make it much better. If you could insert the sentence and translated sentence into two seperate boxes/fields, you would be able to make ordinary sentece cards, just by inputting a word. That sir, would be awesome.
