Possibility of adding other languages?

[ghost]

Hey! Hope you're doing fine :) Wondering if I could manually add other languages, and if you could possibly explain to me how to do this? I got as far as downloading other languages from tatoeba, but they're not working when using the addon in anki. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks!

Hi!

Did you follow the example I posted in the other issue? Can you tell me the steps you followed so far? After creating a file in the providers folder as I explained there, you have to write a function to pull the examples from the file. You can copy the from_tatoeba function in tr.py, changing just the filename to get a file like this:

import os
from typing import List
import csv
import re

from .. import consts

def from_tatoeba(word: str) -> List[str]:
    word = word.lower()
    pattern = re.compile(f"\\b{re.escape(word)}\\b")
    matches = []
    try:
        with open(
            os.path.join(consts.VENDOR_DIR, "jpn_sentences.tsv"),
            encoding="utf-8",
            newline="",
        ) as f:
            reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter="\t")
            for row in reader:
                sentence = row[2]
                if pattern.search(sentence):
                    matches.append(sentence)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        pass
    return matches

NAME = "Japanese"
PROVIDERS = [from_tatoeba]

The jpn_sentences.tsv used here must be inside the providers/vendor folder. The zip files you download from https://tatoeba.org/en/downloads should be extracted to get the .tsv files.

Oh you're right, I'd already received your answer in the other post...Will try and get back to you :D

An update on this: I've made the Tatoeba fetcher support more languages. You can download the new release from here: https://github.com/abdnh/anki-incontext/releases/tag/0.1

You only have to put the *.tsv file under the user_files/tatoeba folder for the add-on to pick it up now. Currently supported languages are listed here. I plan to make it so that it supports all Tatoeba languages automatically in the near future.

This is working for Spanish with downloaded Tatoeba sentences. I tried making Spanish work with Glosbe and Tatoeba without the downloaded sentences, but it didn't work (but I just added "es" to the supported languages in glosbe.py and tatoeba.py .

In facto, Glosbe and Tatoeba (without database) is not working for English either (I'll open a new issue).
