2 years ago The case shows this visitor/language learner was questioning the spelling using in site was "wrong"/non-standard, and he was unable to type the word by typing in the way it was spelled as shown:
Hi admin(s) of 開放詞典, please make Jyutping as the default displayed spelling system of the website.
With the growing use of Cantonese Jyutping, most online resources have standardized around Jyutping rather than others, and now even the Cantonese input methods offered in Apple QuickType and Google Gboard, which also use Jyutping as the primary spelling for Cantonese. It is clear that Jyutping has become the dominant standard for Cantonese spelling system.
Some cases show that people did question the fact that the Yale scheme currently used in 開放詞典 is not the standard Jyutping spelling system they are familiar with, which led to inconsistencies in their use of both 開放詞典 and the input method and other online resources.
Therefore, please consider making Jyutping as the primary default displayed spelling systems for the website to meet the needs of most users.
Lastly, I would like to say thanks to 開放詞典's site owner and contributors for their efforts on the Cantonese language. It provides a great source of data for those who want to learn Cantonese and for those who want to build applications related to Cantonese learning.
Now, thanks in advance to those who will help with this issue!
