OP, thank you for your work, I will continue to watch it.

I tried to built something similar, but what I didn't discover and think is crucial is the proper FE: yes, word segmenting is useful, but if I have to click on each word to see its meaning, for how I learn Chinese by reading texts, I still find Zhongwen Chrome extension to be more useful, since I see English meaning quicker, just by hover cursor over the word.

In my project, I was trying to display English translation under each Chinese word, which would I think require AI to determine the correct translation, since one cannot just put CC-CEDIT entry there.

P.S: I dont know how you built your dictionary, it translated 气功师 as "Aerosolist", which I am not sure what is exactly, but this should be actually two words, not one - correct segmentation and translation is 气功 师, "qigong master".
