Kanji Localization (JSON)

The kanji-localization.json file contains your personal translations for kanji meanings and usage examples.

🛠 Highly Recommended: Instead of editing this raw JSON file manually, use the built-in Translate Kanji Tool (found in the Tools menu). The tool provides a clean UI for translating and automatically saves the JSON file with the correct formatting and IDs!

File Structure

If you prefer to edit the file manually or write a script to generate it, the root object contains an entries dictionary where:

• Key – the kanji character itself (e.g., "日").
• Value – an object with the translation and an array of examples.

Example structure:

{
  "last_id": 100,
  "entries": {
    "日": {
      "meaning": "Day, sun, Japan",
      "translate_examples": [
        "Sunday",
        "Japan",
        "Holiday"
      ]
    },
    "月": {
      "meaning": "Month, moon",
      "translate_examples": [
        "Monday",
        "Next month"
      ]
    }
  }
}
