pinyin | Pure JavaScript library for converting Hanzi to Pinyin

So, I have tried the following

I try to convert a list of Chinese province into pinyin use pinyin package, code like below:

I'm looking to make a list of toneless pinyin combinations/permutations.

I am running into a strange react issue with textareas! Currently our application sends a textarea's value from a parent component to its child, then the child component just renders the textarea (it does some other stuff but for simplicity sake). When that field receives an onInput event it will then update the parent with its new text. If you type in the field currently, the correct English characters make it up to the parent & back down to the child. However when using a pinyin keyboard (In my case, specifically mac's pinyin keyboard) the prompt is not brought up to select the Chinese characters. I was able to use the pinyin keyboard with an input and an onchange event, however our requirements specify a textarea. I attempted to use an onChange event & key press events with no luck. I was able to successfully reproduce the issue for class based & functional components, however our application's component uses class components. Any ideas on why exactly the pinyin keyboard prompt isn't displaying when typing in a textarea would be very appreciated!

I have an issue with Chrome on Macos. I put an contenteditable=false element in contenteditable=true element. Then input an emoji into the contenteditable=true element. Then input 4 characters after the emoji. Then I cannot input Chinese through pinyin.

Here is the example jsfiddle. I cannot input Chinese after the last s.

It works fine on Safari, Firefox and Windows Chrome.

Beginner trying to create an app that gives the user a random "word of the day".

Through testing I realised that the app has to be opened every day by the user in order to manually trigger the function isRefreshRequired() (which retrieves the new word and updates user interface and notification content). But I need this to be done automatically, regardless of whether the user opens the app or not.

Is this even possible? I am stuck between which methods to use:

1. NSCalendarDayChanged. I found this useful answer but I am not sure where it would be implemented? If I use it applicationDidFinishLaunching, where would the function calendarDayDidChange() be called? In viewDidLoad()?

2. significantTimeChangeNotification() - Possibly a better method? Again, not sure how to actually implement this and where. The document also says:

If the the device is asleep when the day changes, this notification will be posted on wakeup.

Does wakeup mean when the app is reopened? Because I want the isRefreshRequired() function to execute even if the user hasn't touched the app.

1. Background App Refresh: this doesn't seem useful since it needs a URLSession and the user may have disabled background refresh. Seems a bit excessive for an app that just wants to give the user a new word!

The code in question:

Is there a programmatic way to identify the tones in Chinese text?

For an input string like 苹果 I need to extract the tones as 2 and 3 as it would be indicated in the pinyin transliteration píng guǒ or ping2 guo3.

I guess a possible workaround would be converting Chinese hanzi text to pinyin (e.g. with pinyin4j) and then extract the tones from pinyin, but I assume there must be a better and direct way to do it.

The question is about if there is some algorithmic way to identify the tones or if the only way is a map lookup against an authoritative source e.g. the publicly available CEDICT database.

I'm making a mod for a game where the majority of the files are XMLs, the text of which is Simplified Chinese. My goal is to replace all of the Simplified Chinese in the files with Traditional, followed by an English translation. I'm using the Cloud Translate API from Google to do that part, and it all works fine. At first I was just doing a find and replace on the Chinese text and then adding English to the end of string, but the issue with that is that I'm getting extra English translations whenever the Chinese text occurs more than once.

In an effort to fix that I read more of the XML documentation for Python, and I started trying to use tree.write, but that's where I'm getting stuck. When I use it, the XML file has the UTF codes for the Chinese characters, rather than the actual characters. If I open the file in a web browser, the characters render correctly, but at this point I'm just unsure if they'll still work with the game if they're not writing into the XML normally.

Here's an example XML I'm working with:
