added⌨️ Chinese Keyboard Improvements - Hybrid Tone System: Support for both Prefix and Postfix typing. You can now type tones before a vowel or after the full syllable. If you type "hao" then a tone, the keyboard automatically replaces it with the grammatically correct accented version (hǎo). Implemented standard priority rules (a > e > o) to ensure tones always land on the correct vowel in a cluster (when used after a syllable). - Toneless Hanzi Search: You no longer need to type tones to find characters. Exact tonal matches are prioritized at the top of the list if used. - Visual Enhancements: Tone buttons' font is now larger and use your theme's accent color for better visibility.
added⚙️ New Settings Options - Disable Visual Keyboard: Added an option in the settings to fully deactivate the in-game visual keyboard. Deactivate it to use your own. We recommend this for anyone using a physical language keyboard fit for the target language or those on SteamDeck who have already installed the target language keyboard on their device (recommended).
fixed🛠️ Fixes - Chinese Grammar: Fixed a spot where a Japanese grammar point was taught instead of a Chinese one. - Teaching Logic: Fixed the gnome Hanzi - Kanji teaching question. - Localization: Fixed some missing translations (base language).
