Fangga (ᡶᠠᠩᡤᠠ) is an Anki add-on to go from Manchu script to Romanized Manchu and vice-versa

Fangga (ᡶᠠᠩᡤᠠ)

ᡶᠠᠩᡤᠠ (Fangga) means magic in Manchu, and this Anki add-on might seem like magic (if you don't know how to code lol otherwise it's just some very basic Python).

Fangga is an Anki add-on that makes it easy to go between Manchu script and Romanized Manchu following the same romanization system as Buleku. It's very easy to use, just do the following:

1. Install the Fangga by cloning this repo and double clicking the file Fangga.ankiaddon or by entering 852195835 under Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons
2. Create a card template with the following fields: "Manchu" and "Romanization". These fields are case-sensitive--you can have whatever other fields you want, but you must have these two for anything to happen
3. When creating a card, fill in one of the fields
4. After that, press Shift+Ctrl+X or Shift+Cmd+X, and the other field will be filled automatically

At the moment, this works on a card by card basis... perhaps I will update it to allow for bulk card creation in the future but for now this is sufficient for my purposes.

I would like to acknowledge this repo, as the way I handled Romanization->Manchu was driven by their methodology.
