Request word: 或者

Hello, I don’t found the word : 或者 (simplify Chinese), it is possible to add it ?

Hi! We can look into adding this, but you can also add this word to your pile today by enabling the dictionary beta :slight_smile:

Do the dictionary beta is also for Simplified Chinese ?
Maybe I misunderstood , I thought it was only for traditional.

Nope! Dictionary items work for both simplified and traditional. Only thing it doesn’t work for is single characters, it only lets you add multi-character words (which is a weird restriction IMHO). Even works for things at are already in the HH list, or to add words where characters use alternate non-HH list pronunciations (e.g. I added 还是 as háishi even though in HH lists as huán).

@phil - out of curiosity, why disable adding single characters from the dictionary? Tech wise it’s zero work to allow single chars via the same system you have now, so philosophically you’re just against it?

I think the reason was to ideally add most characters officially, or at least see how many more characters we would add, thus we left it out when we first implemented the dictionary. I can see us revisiting this though :slight_smile:
