Description

NEW • Settings > Update Database to update. (See Tips below) • Remove Pinyin from words you already know. (See Tips below) • Dictionary display based on what article you are viewing.


GEM Chinese is an app for English or Chinese speaking people who are learning about Jehovah in the other language. This app lets the user view Watchtower ONLINE Library articles in English and Chinese, while at the same time provides a user learning experience through reading the Bible. Especially helpful for Jehovah's Witnesses.


This app is intended to help language learners. Therefore, please make sure to take full advantage of the JW LIBRARY app by Jehovah's Witnesses when studying and preparing for meetings.


TIPS • Two-finger tap will maximize English or Chinese view. • Tap on any Chinese word to see the Pinyin and English definition. • Add custom definitions which will appear above the Chinese word. If your definition contains a "/", then view will add a separate definition with a "•" symbol. If your definition starts with a "*", then view will not display the pinyin. • To update the database, go to Settings > Update Database. This will download the English and Chinese article HTML which is from wol.jw.org. This updates the Daily Text and monthly Watchtower, Awake!, and Meeting Workbook.


Notes • Because the app is new, it probably has many errors. If you are experiencing any issues, would like to request a feature, or have a suggestion, please send me an email.


Coming Soon • Synchronous scrolling. • Save your dictionary to AnkiWeb.

    Commendations++ by SchoolWrite-NG

    This is a blessing to our work field. Jah will ever support the fine motive, effort, time and pains it takes to create this app. My Wish! 1. Can the Bible references in the publications be linked to the Bible on the APP instead of going on-line jw.org to fetch bible passages. 2. Can we have a way to highlight, mark, underline, embolden or colour some portions for comments, meditations etc. 3. The dictionary is showing English and Chinese Character- Can it include the Pinyin as well. Well done!

    Awesome app by Dan

    Thank you so much! Great to see this on windows. I also use the android version. A big help at meetings. The customized dictionary is a great feature. Just tried to change the text size in the windows version and was not able to. Please check when you get a chance.

    Awesome app. Some quirks that need to be worked out. by M

    Thanks for this app. I love all the features, such as the side-by-side English and Chinese, mouse over translation, add to My Dictionary, and the expansive publications available. Some suggestions: 1. The WT articles populate to the right date, but the Meeting Workbooks only ran to Sep 2017 as of this writing (11/1/2017) 2. Sometimes the Daily Text on the Homepage or the Bible doesn't populate correctly, either showing blank on the Chinese side or the English side or both. 3. The slider for text sizing behaves weirdly. I can drag the slider but it doesn't stay where I release the mouse click. Also when I drag the slider, the size value remains 80% and slide bar position unchanged. I have to switch to another tab (i.e., Bible) and then go back to settings to see what value it registered. BTW, these quirks are not found in the Android version of this app or have already been improved upon. Again thanks for putting this together. Please continue to work on its improvement.
