Installation
- Launch Obsidian.
- Navigate to
Settings>Community Plugins. - Search for
Memodack. - Install and enable the plugin.
Hotkeys
For quick translation and conversion into the plugin’s syntax, set up hotkeys for the Memodack: Translate command. For example, you can assign Alt + T. After that, select a word or several words and activate the shortcut.
Syntax
The plugin uses its own syntax:
{value|translation}
If you want to provide multiple translations, separate them with a semicolon ;:
{value|translation; translation; translation}
If you want to attach an image to a word, simply create a link to the image directly in the document, as shown in the Example. This can be either a file stored in Obsidian itself or a link to an external resource.
The link name must be exactly the same as the word:
[<value>](...)
Practice
To activate Practice mode, click the lightning icon in the left ribbon menu.
You can also select at least 4 words and then press the lightning icon to work exclusively with those words.
