Rikaisama is a modification of the rikaichan Japanese-English popup dictionary that adds many features and customization options. Supports Windows, Ubuntu, and newer versions of OSX.
*** THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED AND NO LONGER WORDS IN FIREFOX (however, it still works in Waterfox using a non-e10s window: "File > New Non-e10s Window") ***
The latest version can be found on the Rikaisama download page hosted by SourceForge. Source code is included.
It might be easiest to follow an example:
These are the fields in our Anki "Japanese" Note Type:
Notice that there are 5 fields in this Note Type: "Expression", "Reading", "Meaning", "Hint", and "Examples".
For this example, we want Rikaisama to add cards with the "Expression", "Reading", and "Meaning" fields filled in whenever the Real-Time Import key ("R") is pressed. We also want to leave the "Hint" and "Examples" fields blank when adding cards.
In Rikaisama Options > Anki, here is how we would configure the "Save format" and "Field names" to accomplish this:
As you can see, we have entered the field names that we care about into the "Field names" box. We have separated the field names with spaces like this: "Expression Reading Meaning".
In the "Save format" box, we have entered "$d$t$r$t$n". The "$d" token maps to the "Expression" field, the "$r" token maps to the "Reading" field, and the "$n" token maps to the "Meaning" field. Notice how these tokens are separated by a "$t" token. Whenever Rikaisama sees a "$t" token, it will start mapping to the next field.
Troubleshooting:
The most common issue is using a "Note Type" in Anki that doesn't contain the necessary fields. To change the current "Note Type":
The following options can only be enabled via the about:config page:
extensions.rikaisama.epwingusewine | On Linux, if EPWING mode isn't working correctly, you may try enabling this option. When enabled, Rikaisama will use Wine with the Windows EPWING executable instead of using the native Linux EPWING executable. Rikaisama will assume that you have both Wine and Bash installed. |
extensions.rikaisama.epwingshowtitle | Set this to false to hide the dictionary title in EPWING mode. |
extensions.rikaisama.epwingshowshorttitle | Set this to false to show the full dictionary title in EPWING mode instead of the shortened title. |
extensions.rikaisama.epwingforceparse | Set this to true to force parsing of unsupported EPWING dictionaries. |
extensions.rikaisama.epwing_apply_remove_regex_when_saving | Set this to false to prevent the EPWING regex from being used when either saving or when using Real-Time Import. |
