It sure does and its a lot easier than a dictionary for me. Because wenlin can look at the character before and after, it limits your choices to the actual compounds present, not have to scroll through every compound possible. You cannot use wenlin successfully for translation unless you know the basic rules of chinese. However it appears to be almost as comprehensive and much easier than a dictionary. You definitely need to make decisions about whether terms should be interpreted as combinations or individually. However in a selection Bob Damone sent me on the san jiao, much of this appears context dependent. So it becomes evident that something is nonsensical unless one identifies a compund term. This appears to be a tool for translation and education, not an automated translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
