Chinese Worksheet Generator with French translations

[seraphinm]

Hello,

The chinese worksheet generator you have developed is great, as a French person, I'd be very much interested in having the same tool with French translations. Is it possible to implement a French version thanks to CFDICT, the french dataset ?

Thank you very much in advance,

Seraphin

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in cwg. It should be indeed possible to implement the French version using CFDICT. Can you code? I would very much welcome your pull request :)

Unfortunately I can't code... But I teach chinese and it would be very nice to use the generator in French :)
Where could I start from if I want to implement a French version ?

I understand that, but I am not sure if I will have time for it. If you are interested to try it out, you could first fork and clone the repository and set it up so that you can run it locally on your own computer, following the installation notes. Once it works, investigate the code that takes data from CEDICT. Then you can think about how would you replace the data set with CFDICT. They may have different structure, but they both contain the same content type - translation and pinyin.

You could basically rewrite the website in frontend folder to be in French language. And you would modify the backend to get data from CFDICT instead of CEDICT. These changes should be commited on your forked repository. Then you send me a pull request and I will integrate the changes :) I think you could learn a lot from this and don't worry, Python and JavaScript are relatively easy to understand programming languages. There are many free tutorials on the internet or YouTube that you could follow.

Thank you very much for the different steps described in your reply, I don't know whether I'll be able to do it but I'm going to give it a try and we'll see how far I can go. I'll keep you posted :)

If still applicable, I'm currently working on this and will do a pull request when done.
