  1. Is there a way to disable the ROMAJI popups? (It is interfering with my rikaichan/rikaikun popups used for quick single-word lookups?)

      try rolling over the actual sentence and not the reading...
      • Just saw the new furigana output, this is really awesome. Thanks to the Admins for installing this.
        • Thank you!!!!
        • I second this.
        • Now that I gave so much praise, I just recognized that when I click the country flags on the main page (show_all_in), all entries have the furigana of the first sentence.
          • I saw that happen once on the front page, but I couldn't get the bug to repeat.

            If you are using Firefox, perhaps try a Ctrl+F5 (to force a reload of the cache). It was indeed a bug, but it was fixed on Tuesday ^^
    • What about the 'click on furigana line to go to explanation' thing? It was a good idea when that was first set up but it's just annoying (to me) now. It means that people can't copy and paste the text-with-furigana easily if they want to.

        I never liked the "click to go to the explanation about Romaji." I've accidentally gone to that page multiple times.

        However, I wonder how useful copying and pasting the Furigana line is.
        This is how the pasted text looked for me. The 2nd line, seems a bit confusing.

        My hotel told me to call you.

        • > I wonder how useful copying and pasting the Furigana line is.

          Not as useful as it should be. I think the <rp> tag usage must be messed up because it doesn't copy like it should.

          What you get now:

          私わたし は ()妹いもうと に ()新しいあたらしい ()帽子ぼうし を ()買っかっ て やっ た 。

          What you should get

          私(わたし)は妹(いもうと)に新しい(あたらしい)帽子(ぼうし)を買っ(かっ)ってやった。

          (N.B. still not perfect because of the way MeCab is processing things)

          I agree it's annoying. I'll take out the link and write about it in the FAQ instead.


          As for furigana, it seems the behavior changes from a browser to another. To me, it works fine when I copy-paste from Firefox 3.6 and Internet Explorer 8. The pasted string contains the parenthesis.
          But copying from Chrome or Opera won't include these parenthesis...

          Additionally, furigana does not dipslay very well from Opera.

          If anyone knows the solution to these problems, please tell me.
          • Firefox 3.6.8 here - isn't working.
            • Your source code:

              を <ruby htmlruby_processed="processed"><rp>(</rp><rp>)< /rp><rbc><rb>監視</rb></rbc><rtc><rt >かんし</rt></rtc></ruby> し た 。

              What you should have
              を <ruby htmlruby_processed="processed"><rbc><rb>監視</rb>< /rbc><rp>(</rp><rtc><rt >かんし</rt></rtc><rp>)</rp></ruby> し た 。

              How your copy n' pastes
              を ()監視かんし し た 。

              How mine copy n' pastes
