Audio fix (please email us if you have any problems) Long-press clipboard icon to append Chinese characters to clipboard

Better phrase support - now you can star Chinese phrases (or any Chinese word even if it is not in the dictionary). Also provides Pinyin* for those phrases and the ability to play the corresponding audio. This is great for building phrase lists - build your own phrase book! Tweaked the way results are formatted in the search page. Now, instead of the old two-column format (Hanzi on the left, Pinyin on the right), the Hanzi runs right across the screen and the Pinyin follows likewise.

Minor bug fixes regarding handling of corrupt database file Audio enhancements* * Hanping Pro now includes brand new audio files (provided by FlashDragon Publishing, LLC). New users will automatically receive these files when they download the audio files when installing Hanping Pro. Existing users will need to rename the following folder on their sd card: /Android/data/com.embermitre.lib.audio.pinyin to: /Android/data/com.embermitre.lib.audio.pinyin.old The next time you run the app, you will be prompted to download the new audio files.

Improved About screen for Gingerbread and Honeycomb devices. Now, clicking on the first item will take you to the App Details system screen providing an easy way to Clear Data or Uninstall the app. This is already available on pre-Gingerbread devices Minor bug fixes

Fixed bug regarding list items not in dictionary. This bug appeared in 2.5.0-2.5.3. For example, bringing up the hsk6 list would show the same entry (報酬, 报仇,”bao4 chou5″) multiple times due to a caching bug. It was this entry because this was the first entry in hsk6 that does not appear in the dictionary (CC-CEDICT 2.1.1). All later list items not in the dictionary were showing as the “bao4 chou5″ also.

Some minor widget enhancements - now you can force that the phonetics are never displayed in the widget. Also, if you reinstall the app or reboot your device, the old word is still shown Improved swipe left/right, up/down on Word Details screen - there was a bug introduced in 2.5.3 where (at least on Xperia X10) swiping left/right or up/down no longer worked. That has been fixed and the swiping generally improved - now you can swipe from anywhere on the screen (before you could not swipe starting from a clickable item like the Hanzi or Search/Links icons).

Made some changes to the Word Details screen: Moved “External Websites” icon down to below entry description (now called “Links”) Added “Search” icon (also below description) allowing easy searches related to the currently displayed word. For example, if you are looking at the word 朋友, now you can easily search for all words starting or ending in “朋友” and also all words starting in “朋” or ending in “友”. Note - this uses the wildcard characters: * = any string of characters (maybe none), # = exactly one character Added Skritter to Links so you can see (and practice) drawing a character.

Added localizations for French, German, Japanese & Korean. These are very approximate localizations (primarily generated using online translation engines like Google Translate and Bing Translator) so please send us any corrections Minor bug fixes If you would like to contribute a translation of this app into your native language, then please contact us at [email protected]
