Description

If you have any difficulty updating this add-on then, please follow these Instructions: 1. Navigate to Anki's Tools->Add-ons then disable Migaku Dictionary and restart Anki. 2. Navigate to Anki's Tools->Add-ons and click "Check for Updates", then install the update. 3. After the update finishes re-enable Migaku Dictionary and restart Anki.

Migaku Development Cycles Migaku develops add-ons in 6-month development cycles. For the duration of a development cycle, add-ons are designed for the latest stable version of Anki that was available at the beginning of that cycle. At the end of a development cycle, all Migaku add-ons are upgraded to the latest stable version of Anki. Please note that development of the new updated versions of the add-ons begins at the end of the current cycle, once all Add-ons have been updated the new cycle then begins.

  <b>Why Migaku uses a Development Cycle:</b>
        ● By not needing to constantly update add-ons each time a new version of Anki is released, we’re better able to stay focused on new projects.
        ● When everyone is using the same version of Anki and the same version of the add-ons, bug fixing can proceed more efficiently.
        ● Because users only have to update their set-up once every 6 months, they can more easily stay focused on their studies.
        ● We surveyed our users and found that the vast majority approved of a 6-month development cycle. 

  <b>Current Cycle Details:</b>
        Anki Version:  2.1.35

        Start Date: Dec 16th, 2020
        Development on New Add-on Versions Begins: Sep 16th, 2021
        <b>We have major plans that we feel will add the most value to our users and therefore this development cycle will be 9 months instead of 6. During this time we will continue to add new features and deliver bug fixes to add-ons. But we will not support newer version of Anki during this period (unless some major issue is affecting the vast majority of users at the current development cycle version).</b>

Version Info - Please Read! The Anki 2.1.14 - 2.1.16 version of the add-on has been left here so that people on older versions of Anki may continue to use it. However we do not offer support for that version of the add-on and it does not offer all of the features, improvements, and fixes in the Anki 2.1.22 version.

About the Add-on The Migaku Dictionary is an Anki 2.1 add-on designed to radically streamline the process of using Anki for language learning. It comes with a host of features that help users perform precise look-ups and swiftly craft cards, including global hotkeys for instant look-ups from anywhere on your computer, automatic deconjugation, frequency list integration, single-click definition exporting to cards, mass definition exporting, on-the-fly card creation, and more.

###Mac Users### If you’re using macOS, you must give Anki accessibility permissions in order for the add-on’s global hotkeys to function. This link explains how to do this.

###Linux Users### Unfortunately, Linux is not officially supported and the add-on may not work properly under all environments. That said, please check the GitHub repository below for any community fixes that may be available.

Usage Guide Will be updated on GitHub soon.

Supported Dictionaries A library of compatible open-source dictionaries and frequency lists can be found here. See the guide linked above for installation instructions and information on supported file formats.
