[Request] Increasing note lenght

Would it be possible to increase the limit of user notes from current 500 to something… less limiting (maybe 2000?) :folded_hands:

I started to rely on it for adding useful information there and more context and current 500 feels very limiting.

Hi,
tiny bump.

I started putting in note/comment field translations of the comments/explanation into my native language (turns out that despite rather good knowledge of English, reading the same thing in my native Polish makes the explanation “click” way better… :open_mouth: :exploding_head: ) and I’m quite often hitting the limit of 500 characters.

Having it increased would help a lot without having to stoop to (quite often) fancy editing to try to squeeze the content :smiley: (also, current way the editor works by cutting everything at the limit mark makes it more difficult to edit :frowning: )

Hey! I have passed this one on to the team.

If wk offered different languages it would be able to help a lot more learners.

The translations could be community generated if there was a way to load them.

I am British so am lucky that mostly I can understand American. I do have to google some of the cultural references!

Thank you so much! <3

Hmm… that’s an interesting point!

Though while basic translation for kanji/vocab is not a problem, and even translation for meaning mnemonic would be more than fine, translation for reading mnemonics could be challanging. Sometimes it does work (for example recently I had “cold” kanji with “samurai” and obviously same word is used in Polish; same with “kouichi” :D)

Alas - could be really helpful! <3

@wojtek Instead of manually putting translations in notes, I made a userscript called WaniKani Meaning Translation that auto-translates the meaning text into Polish (and 100+ languages) after each review. No manual work needed.

It uses Google Translate with MyMemory fallback and has a WKOF settings panel.

Install: WaniKani Meaning Translation

I also made WaniKani Review Analytics for accuracy tracking: WaniKani Review Analytics

Thank you for the information.
It looks quite interesting, however I prefer to have the translation directly in the notes field because I can access those also in Android application. Additionally, I can tweak the translation to my liking and include additional information, so I’m not limited to the automatic translation.
Besides, I think that having it translated once is more efficient than doing that constantly even though it’s cached locally :slight_smile:
