Apply AI language models to solve an old and known issue with spacing that has not been solved yet for Chinese texts within LingQ. The current implemented algorithm for this has many issues. Issue comes up when importing chinese but also when generating texts, using the simplify lesson functionality. Using AI worked in Bing chat (for instance) when I typed the following "Suppose we create a new language called 'space chinese'. And it would be totally the same as mandarin chinese, but with one difference. The writing would include spaces between chinese characters in places that correspond to where spaces are between the english words. How would you write the following text in space chinese: "取得成功的人往往都经历过许多失败"?"

It would be nice if we could get AI contextual explanations of words, phrases and grammar when clicking on them.

There are several requests here for language X or Y, but it would perhaps be even easier (for the LingQ staff) and more useful (to the users) to allow users to add their own languages. Each user would then have to add all content themselves, but many of us probably do that anyway. There may exist native content as podcasts, audio books and videos, but it would be nice to import it all into LingQ in order to get the automatic transcriptions, or perhaps more importantly the entire course/lesson/LingQ framework. Having the official mini stories as a starting point is nice, but they are not necessary. This would also open the door for dialects. For example, there are several dialects that are so far from the official Swedish that even natives from other areas don't understand anything (kind of like the most obscure version of Chilean Spanish, but worse). If the language specifications (name, dialect, geographical area, etc) could then be shared, other learners would possibly get access to lots of new material, just as for the currently supported languages.

The Lingq library is very messy and it would be nice if things could be improved on that front by allowing users to create their own course shelves that would be kept separate from the library. I read books and would like to be able to sort out the novels I read by genre e.g mystery, YA etc. Yes, there are tags, but it's not the same. Ideally, the user could also move completed courses to a dedicated shelf since you don't want to reintroduce archiving. At the moment, everything is crammed onto the continue studying section, but completed courses have nothing to do here by definition.

When adding a lesson yourself, it's a bit difficult knowing which level it belongs to. It would be nice if this could be suggested automatically, perhaps after the transcription has been completed.

When editing a lesson, the minus and plus button make it easy to change the time. However, they only adjust full seconds, which are often correct anyway. It would be really helpful if there were similar buttons for adjusting the decimal value. Currently I can use the mouse for almost everything in this editor, but have to move my hand back and forth to adjust the last digit. It would be nice to not having to do that.

I think it is important to learn languages, but for me it is not about whether I have a streak or not. Furthermore, it is very annoying that the system does not even register my continuity as such correctly. Instead, it showed several times that I would not have reached my goal the day before, when I am sure there was no break. I would rather be able to turn off this nonsense altogether.

I am now using existing supporting languages (English and Norwegian) , those I am most fluent in, to add content for non existent languages, Tibetan and Vietnamese, for example. Can you add option, make the feature that one can create private pages for whatever language / content one wants without depending on existing languages; because that mess up the vocabulary lists for the English and Norwegian pages. This feature will expand the system and make it more flexible and useful.

请添加标记长句时的deepl翻译，我认为deepl的翻译比谷歌的更好用，最好做一个开关可以用户自行做修改

My husband is native Hawaiian and has always wanted to learn his ancestors language. This is our favorite language learning app. I have already learned Spanish from almost nothing to being able to pass the CLEP with 6 credits using this app. Please consider adding Hawaiian to the list!!! And consider using chat gpt to create content quickly that would just need to be proofread. Thank you so much for creating this awesome tool!!!
