Xuexi 學習 🤓

A library which parse dictionaries from various format allowing you to query the definition of each word based on the given sentence.

Supported language

All of these dictionaries are available on the internet. Big thanks to them for putting up these dictionaries. So far only these 2 languages are supported for personnal usage in future project and language learning

• Chinese by using the cedict dictionnary
• Laotian dictionary provided by the LaoNLP repository. The Laotian language parser uses the chamkho library

Example

An example can be found in the examples folder. The example can be run with the command

cargo run --example example --features="all"

Usage

The library is feature gates. Below are example for the supported languages

Chinese

In the Cargo.toml file, add these line below

xuexi = { version = "0.1.5", features = ["all"] }

Then you can import the dictionary like so

let chinese = xuexi::load_chinese_dictionary(
    Lang::Chinese(KeyVariant::Traditional),
    PathBuf::from("./cedict_ts.u8"),
).unwrap();

let sentence = "今天天氣很熱非常熱";

// hashamp
let list = chinese.parse_sentence_into_words(sentence);
let definition = list.get("熱").unwrap();

println!("{}", definition.count) // this will print 2

Laotian

let lao = xuexi::xuexi::load_laotian_dictionary(PathBuf::from("./lao-eng-dictionary.csv")).unwrap();
let sentence = "ລູກຫລ້າຢາກໄດ້ກິນຫຍັງ";

let list = lao.parse_sentence_into_words(sentence);
let eat = list.get("ກິນ").unwrap();

println!("{}", eat.pronounciation) // this will print "kin"
