yomichan-jlpt-vocab (An Modified Japanese Tokenizer and Japanese to English offline dictionary)

  1. Compile the database, it is very easy, only three commands, no external python dependencies are involved. Also, it is a very small dictionary which only has JLPT words (14540 items). A file japanese.db will be generated. 
    git clone https://github.com/chenyanming/yomichan-jlpt-vocab
cd yomichan-jlpt-vocab
python make_dictionary_db.py
  2. Set paw-jlpt-db and point to the location of japanese.db.
  3. PC: Download mecap and unidic-lite or janome 
    pip install mecab-python3
pip install unidic-lite
# pip install janome # You can also use janome instead
  4. Android: Download janome 
    pkg install tur-repo # https://github.com/termux-user-repository/tur 
pkg install python3.10 # install python 3.10
pip3.10 install janome # janome is much easier to install on Android
  5. Setup paw-python-program if necessary, if the pip module is installed with different python version, for android, set it to python3.10
  6. Enable paw-annotation-show-unknown-words-p
    1. Tweak paw-jlpt-tags, part of or all among "n5 n4 n3 n2 n1"
    2. Add words to known words file
      • Setup paw-jlpt-known-words-files and paw-jlpt-default-known-words-file, for example, I have two files, one is csv file downloaded from somewhere, the other is a plain text maintained manually. 
        (setq paw-jlpt-known-words-files `(,(expand-file-name "japanese.txt" org-directory)))
(setq paw-jlp-default-known-words-file (expand-file-name "japanese.txt" org-directory))

Text wordlists or dictionaries

  1. You can also disable paw-annotation-show-unknown-words-p, and use your personal wordlist files (csv/txt file dictionaries) instead, by setting paw-jlpt-wordlist-files.
    • csv file requirement: just make sure first column is the word. Other columns will be automatically combined and separated by new line as explanation.
    • txt file requirement: the whole line should be the word, one line one word.

You can think of paw-jlpt-wordlist-files are external text dictionaries. Paw will query the word with the first column of text dictionaries inside paw-jlpt-wordlist-files, and use other columns as explanation. If no explanation, it will use paw-jlpt-db.

You can also think of paw-jlpt-wordlist-files are editable wordlists. All words inside them will be highlighted (Blue by default) in the buffer that are enabled paw-annoatation-mode, while words added into paw-db-file will be highlighted as Orange by default.
