Legacy gadget   - Tom B - Mar 5, 2010 - Report this comment

This appears to be a "legacy" gadget that will soon stop working if the developer doesn't update it.... too bad 'cause it's really great. I'll hate to lose it when September 14th, 2010 rolls around. http://igoogledeveloper.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-things-change-more-they-stay-same.html

Gadget height keeps changing  Tom B - Nov 12, 2009 - Report this comment

This has been my favorite and most-used gadget for a long time. However, in the last month or two it's become less useful. Quite often when I open iGoogle now, the gadget is shorter so that only the blue character is visible (i.e. can't see the pinyin, translation, or audio play button). In order to see the rest, I have to reload the page one or more times. I suspect that there may be some change in iGoogle and/or Flash that's tripping it up, but I really hope the developer can look into it.

why does the audio arrow never show up but once  Anonymous - Jun 15, 2009 - Report this comment

when the Chinese,Japanese,Korean or German word of the day only show the audio arrow only when it first starts for the day,then every time after when the page refreshes it disappears and is gone for the whole 24 hours,till the new ones are started,this is crazy,you should be able to hear the audio every time you pull up the word, please see if it can get corrected,please. thank you

i don't really use this gadget but i like it

I agree with Chris   - Scott Keller - Feb 1, 2008 - Report this comment

I was just going to make the same remark. This is a very helpful gadget, but it would be much better with an example of how to use it in a sentence. Thanks a lot!

I like this gadget - good for both the audio and the character recognition - but it would be even better if it also put the characters in a sentence context.

holy cow theres something wrong with this gadget... the audio pronunciation is REALLY high pitch. sounds like a chimpmunk other than that it's a neat tool =)

kittie - Apr 22, 2007 - Report this comment

dude, xue2 xiao4 is correct. This word just means a school, not necessarily a primary school. Since you have been learning Chinese for 1 yr, you should know that the same pronouncation may be a totally different word...

75% of the time this gadget is wrong. Either the audio says the incorrect word or the meaning of the word is incorrect. You will in fact get dumber if you use this. The example xue2 xiao4 is actually primary school - xiao meaning small and xue meaning school. I've only studied Chinese for a year and I know this!
