Languages Yona reads

Each language has its own dictionary, word cutting and on-screen text reader. You download a language once and it works offline after that.

• 中文

  Chinese

  Chinese has no spaces, so a normal dictionary can not tell where one word ends. Yona cuts the text into words for you, shows the pinyin and the meaning, and lets you save the word with the sentence it came from.

• 日本語

  Japanese

  Japanese is written without spaces and verbs change their endings. Yona picks the most likely words in a sentence, turns conjugated forms back into the dictionary word, and shows the reading so you can learn kanji as you read.

• 한국어

  Korean

  Korean words change shape: 하다 becomes 합니다, 했어요 and 한. Yona turns those forms back into the dictionary word and keeps the whole word highlighted, while particles like 은 and 을 stay separate.

• Español

  Spanish

  Spanish verbs change in dozens of ways. Yona turns conversaban or hablaremos back into conversar and hablar, handles plurals and feminine forms, and shows the meaning with the sentence you met it in.

• Русский

  Russian

  Russian words change their endings for case, number and tense, so a dictionary alone is hard to use while reading. Yona turns голам into гол and книгам into книга, and finds ё when a subtitle writes е.
