Request: Option to only show pinyin (hide English definition)

[pilgrimtabby]

Just want to say I love this extension! I have been using it for months and it's fantastic.

I'd like an option to hide English definitions in the popup window so only the Pinyin is displayed. This would be very helpful mostly because the English can be distracting in trying to become more immersed in Chinese, and sometimes I just want to double check the Pinyin rapidly to see if I remember it correctly. I've scoured the internet looking for something that does this and cannot find it. Thanks!

@pilgrimtabby If you just want pīnyīn when you hover on a word and nothing else, you can use Chinese words separator, then enable the option Show only when hovered (pīnyīn)

You can also use CWS to fix non-unified CJK characters. When CWS is not yet installed, try to hover on the word 王⼦ on this reddit post: Reading List as a Curriculum, or even in this message; you'll notice that Zhongwen (in fact almost all Chinese dictionaries extensions) would not be able to display wángzǐ (prince), nor show its definition. When you install CWS, it will convert non-unified CJK characters to their unified version so that Chinese dictionaries extensions will be able to detect the characters

It's fine to use Zhongwen and CWS together, some prefer to use both

Thank you so much, I will check this out! Had never heard about it before.

I'm embarrased I never closed this issue! I was new to GitHub at the time and didn't know what I was doing. Closing this — thanks for your help almost three years ago!
