English Support #20

Open JayXT opened 6 months ago

JayXT commented 6 months ago

Hello! Thanks for the great project! Quick question: does gd-tools have support for the English language, especially when it comes to parsing and searching for words/collocations in sentences? If it's not the case, do you happen to know by any chance any similar projects targeting English?

There's a PR that adds support for languages with spaces https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/gd-tools/pull/9

But it needs to be adapted to this project before it can be merged in.

Goldendict has built-in support for Hunspell. You can use Hunspell dictionaries for English.

I've tried to use Hunspell dictionaries and they indeed offer basic word-level parsing, but it doesn't look like they give the same level support for parsing of collocations, idioms, phrasal verbs, grammar forms etc. as, for example, Yomichan/Rikaitan does.
