Describe the bug

word wise creating function works, however, somehow, only very limited vocabularies have word wise translations. When I check customize kindle word wise, I try typing some vocabularies in Filter Lemma. For example, "progressive", it only shows phrases ; For vocabulary "fly", it only shows animal fly in translation, but no verb form in translation. ; For vocabulary fry", the translation doesn't show up. I would like to ask what I can do to correct translation database.

The gloss data are obtained from the Chinese Wiktionary, you won't find some words because Wiktionary doesn't have the definition or the page has a terrible wikitext layout. For example, the fly page only has the none gloss, and the fry page doesn't use the standard layout.

You could deselect the "Use Wiktionary definition" to use the Kindle Word Wise db.

If you want to improve the Wiktionary data quality, you could edit the Wiktionary page and take a look of these packages:

• https://github.com/xxyzz/Proficiency
• https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract

Word Wise db files are created from the "Proficiency" project, and "wiktextract" is for extracting data from Wiktionary pages.

For word: progressive and fry. Both of them have Chinese Wiktionary translations. But, none of them is in the worddumb. Does it mean that both words have terrible wikitext layout?

When I deselect the "Use Wiktionary definition" to use the Kindle Word Wise db, it shows: On kindle, Chinese translations won't match vocabularies . What I can do is using English to English wordwise. Do you have any idea what causes it? is something wrong with the Kindle Word Wise db?

Thanks

Both "progressive" and "fry" in Chinese Wiktionary are low quality pages: no part of speech title, and gloss text is not inside a list. So they can't be extracted or can't be used without pos.

When "Use Wiktionary definition" option is selected, a new word wise db will be uploaded to Kindle to replace the Chinese word wise db. If you want to use Kindle's Chinese word wise file, you could delete the file at /system/kll and Kindle will redownload the file.

/system/kll is this file in kindle? I don't see any system files on my kindle.

Would it cause the problem I had?

calibre, version 7.5.1 even if the device is connected, it says: Device not found: Definition data will be added when Kindle or Android(requires adb) device is connected.

It's a hidden folder. Are you using Scribe? The downloading word wise db file from kindle code might not work for Scribe, otherwise there might be a bug in the code.
