It's been a couple of weeks since my last update. I was on vacation, and I was out of the country, but I'm back now! I've just got some more translations:
- to heat up (food)
- hard
- water spinach
- ball
- to play sports (with a ball)
- classifier (for instances of time)
- one more time
- or...
And another translation for the word "restaurant". I'm still adjusting to being back so updates will be slow going for a little bit.

Hey, the site looks different! I upgraded to the latest version of Bootstrap, which wasn't too bad, but I really did not like the default color scheme so I tried my hand at picking out my own colors. That was a lot of work. I'm not a UX person so I don't really know what colors are good, but I kind of wanted to use purple and orange so here we are. I thought upgrading would make dark mode simpler, but it really wasn't.
Hopefully everything looks okay! I'm sure I missed something though.
Apart from that, I've added a few more translations:
- boat
- to pour (over something)
- to pour soup over something
- to blow
- long (time)
- soft (mushy)

Oh man, all I wanted to do was add translations for the word "smart", but then I went down waaaay too many rabbit holes. One of the translations is ghao5, and the commonly used Chinese character for it is not one that's included in the common system CJK fonts. I didn't even know about the term "CJK" before a few days ago. I spent three whole days looking at different fonts and reading about how to include custom fonts on a website and how to optimize the performance and about how the licensing works...
Anyway, it's been added. Go check out the translation page. Hopefully the page doesn't take too long to load!
I've also added a bunch of entries for "x days ago" and "in x days". These were originally in the Sentences, but they're not actually sentences, so I've moved them over to the Words (it's under Date/Time).
