Sentence Audio
Hello, I have a question regarding Migaku memory. I watch content in English and then press the CREATE button beside the Sentence audio field to add sentence audio in Mandarin. Could this be automated so that the Mandarin sentence is added automatically?

You watch in English but want Mandarin audio? Not sure I understand your setup

My setup allows me to first read the translation to Mandarin of the sentence (originating from English content). I then flip the card to its other side and automatically hear: (1) the target word in Mandarin; (2) the original sentence in English; and (3) the translation of the entire sentence spoken in Mandarin.
My question is: could I get no. 3 above automatically or I must keep selecting the CREATE option beside "Sentence audio" whenever I review a new card for the first time?

You can't show a sentence translation on the front currently. Migaku is only built for receptive flashcards and and productive (output-based) ones.

Thank you for your answer. Please note that I am not trying to show a sentence translation on the front side of the flash card. I currently hear that translation on the back side. In order to do that I edit the card by pressing the CREATE key beside the field "Sentence Audio". My question is: could that setting be automated so that I don't have to edit the card and automatically get to hear the sentence translation to Mandarin on the back side of the flash card?

My question is: could that setting be automated so that I don't have to edit the card and automatically get to hear the sentence translation to Mandarin on the back side of the flash card?No we don't plan on automating translation audio as it's not really seen as something that will aid language learning. Why do you want translation audio, if I may ask?

I understand. As to your questions, I want the translation audio in order to consume the content I like and use it for hearing it in the target language I learn.
As to your other question, I just stumbled into this. I don't copy-paste anything. I just press the CREATE key beside the Sentence audio field.

I don't understand. If you're consuming English content, and creating cards from English sentences, then sentence audio should be English, and the text translation should be Mandarin. Can you share some screenshots of your cards?

Certainly. Please find attached.

You have Mandarin selected when your Target Language is English. Migaku is not designed to be used in this way so there's no way to do what you're suggesting currently
