#+OPTIONS: ^:{}

*WARNING:* This repository is abandoned and has not been significantly

updated in years. Expect many parts to be broken.

These are some scripts that help me learn Japanese.

Most scripts are supposed to be used as plugins for an IRC bot or run

on a shell.  I find the following aliases quite useful:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

alias ja="$JAPANESE_TOOLS/jmdict/jm.sh"

alias wa="$JAPANESE_TOOLS/jmdict/wa.sh"

alias rtk="$JAPANESE_TOOLS/rtk/rtk.sh"

#+END_EXAMPLE

I do most of my dictionary lookups with these aliases.

All scripts have only been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and later.  There

are a few dependencies not present on a default Ubuntu system.  You

can install them with

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ sudo apt install mecab-jumandic-utf8 mecab kakasi xmlstarlet xsltproc python-irclib sqlite3 bc liburi-perl tesseract-ocr imagemagick

#+END_EXAMPLE

* audio/

  find_audio.sh finds an audio version of a given Japanese

  word on languagepod101.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./find_audio.sh 夜空

Audio for 夜空 [よぞら]: http://tinyurl.com/p8aq8jo

#+END_EXAMPLE

* compare_encoding

  Compares the size of different encodings of the same Japanese

  Wikipedia article. In almost all cases UTF-8 is smaller than UTF-16.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./compare_encoding.sh 夜空

UTF-8 vs. UTF-16: 91213 vs. 156876 bytes. UTF-8 wins by 41.8%.

#+END_EXAMPLE

* gettext/

  Internationalization support. Currently supported languages:

  - English

  - German

  - Polish

  Be sure to run gettext/regenerate_mo_files.sh if you would like to

  use a translation.

* jmdict/

  jm.sh provides jmdict lookups and wa.sh wadoku lookups.  Works best

  for Japanese->English (or Japanese->German), not so well for the

  reverse direction.  This is because jmdict is a Japanese English

  dictionary and not an English Japanese dictionary.

  To start, you first need to run the scripts prepare_jmdict.sh and

  prepare_wadoku.sh. This will download and process the respective

  dictionary files.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./jm.sh 村長

村長 [そんちょう] (n), village headman

市長村長選挙 [しちょうそんちょうせんきょ] (n), mayoral election

#+END_EXAMPLE

* kana/

  A simple hiragana and katakana trainer.

** Example IRC session

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

  !hira help

 Start with "!hira  [count]". Known levels are 0

             to 10. To learn more about some level please use

             "!hira help ".

 To only see the differences between consecutive

             levels, please use "!hira helpdiff ".

  !hira 5

 Please write in romaji: す と に ね へ

  !hira su to ni ne he

 Perfect! 5 of 5. Statistics for Christoph: 44.64% of

             280 characters correct.

 Please write in romaji: は と ぬ ほ な

#+END_EXAMPLE

* kanjidic/

  Implements a lookup in kanjidic:

  http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanjidic.html

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./kanjidic.sh 日本語

日: 4 strokes. ニチ, ジツ, ひ, -び, -か. In names: あ, あき, いる, く, くさ, こう, す, たち, に, にっ, につ, へ {day, sun, Japan, counter for days}

本: 5 strokes. ホン, もと. In names: まと {book, present, main, origin, true, real, counter for long cylindrical things}

語: 14 strokes. ゴ, かた.る, かた.らう {word, speech, language}

#+END_EXAMPLE

* kumitate_quiz/

  A quiz asking JLPT style 文の組み立て questions. Only works as an IRC plugin

  for now.

** Example IRC session

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

 !kuiz skm2

 Please choose [1-4]: 周囲の人たちの　＿　＿　★　＿　と思う。 (1: 協力を 2: 優勝は 3: 無理だった 4: 抜きにしては).

 !kuiz 2

 Flamerokz: Correct! (2: 優勝は)

#+END_EXAMPLE

** Example question file

   A question file (a file ending in =.txt= in

   =kumitate_quiz/questions/=) should contains lines of the following

   form:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

周囲の人たちの　＿　＿　★　＿　と思う。|協力を,優勝は,無理だった,抜きにしては|2

#+END_EXAMPLE

* lhc

  This script has nothing to do with Japanese. It OCRs the image on

  http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtools/vistar/vistars.php?usr=LHC1

  to provide live statistics of the status of the LHC.

* reading/

  read.py converts kanji to kana using mecab.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./read.py 鬱蒼たる樹海の中に舞う人の如き影が在った。

鬱蒼[うっそう]たる　樹海[じゅかい]　の　中[なか]　に　舞[ま]う

人[じん]　の　如[ごと]き　影[かげ]　が　在[あ]った　。

#+END_EXAMPLE

* reading_quiz/

  A quiz asking kanji -> kana questions. Only works as an IRC plugin

  for now.

** Example IRC session

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

  !quiz jlpt2

 Please read: 発見

  !quiz はっけん

 Christoph: Correct! (はっけん:

             (n,vs) 1. discovery, 2. detection, 3. finding)

#+END_EXAMPLE

* romaji/

  romaji.sh converts kanji and kana to romaji using mecab.

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./romaji.sh 鬱蒼たる樹海の中に舞う人の如き影が在った。

#+END_EXAMPLE

* rtk/

  rtk.sh looks up keywords, kanji and numbers. The keywords and

  numbers refer to Heisig's amazing book "Remembering the Kanji".

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./rtk.sh 城壁

#362: castle 城 | #1500: wall 壁

$ ./rtk.sh star

#1556: star 星, #237: stare 眺, #1476: starve 餓,

#2532: star-anise 樒, #2872: start 孟, #2376: mustard 芥

$ ./rtk.sh 1 2 3

#1: one 一 | #2: two 二 | #3: three 三

#+END_EXAMPLE

* simple_bot/

  As the name says, this is a simple IRC bot. You can start it with:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

$ ./bot.py    [NickServ password]

#+END_EXAMPLE

  It uses all the other scripts.
