Description
MyCidian fills Chinese-vocabulary flashcards from the MyCidian dictionary.
Type a headword in the Hanzi field, click the MyCidian button (or Ctrl+f), and the add-on fills pinyin, numbered definitions, part-of-speech labels, an example sentence with pinyin and English, a per-character breakdown, and a formal-register label into the other fields — all editable afterwards. Sense order and part-of-speech labels match mycidian.com exactly.
Works fully offline: the dictionary ships inside the add-on, so no network is needed and it works behind the GFW.
What it gives you:
- A ready-made "MyCidian" note type with fields Hanzi, Traditional, Pinyin, Entry Block, Examples, Characters, Formal and Notes.
- A fill button (with a configurable shortcut) in the editor, plus a right-click "Fill selected notes from MyCidian" action in the Browser for backfilling an imported deck.
- Tools -> MyCidian menu: Refresh notes from dictionary (regenerates the dictionary-owned fields; never touches Hanzi, Traditional, Pinyin or Notes), Recolor notes (tone colours), and Remove deprecated fields.
By default the add-on never overwrites a field you have already filled; set "overwrite_edited" in the config to change that. Tone colouring for pinyin and hanzi is off by default and can be switched on with custom colours.
