It is not possible to directly covert from Chinese characters to pinyin. Many (most) characters have more than one pronunciation depending on the intended meaning (same as the in English with one word have multiple meanings). You have to look character by character to make decisions on what p

The output of converting to Pinyin using BabelPad is inadequate for the purpose I suggested, in that it still leaves tonal choices for the user to make. Example: ChiUn => Pinyin gives: Genesis 1:1: qǐ chū, shēn/shén chuāng/chuàng cāo/cào/zào tiān de/dì。 Genesis 1:2: de/dì shì kōng/kǒng/kòng xū gǔ

Perhaps the best approach to fixing this ChiPinyin module is to start from a known "good" module such as ChiUn in the CrossWire Av11n repository? http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelPad.html BabelPad includes a conversion for Han ideographs to Pinyin. One advantage is that the conversion p

I've had a look at this module. It has quite a number of errors, including: * missing words in several verses in Lev 11, Num 15, Dt, Neh, 2Kg, Job, Isa, Amos and Luke * missing verse in Dt 15:5, Lk 23:28 * problems with Ps 10, Ps 100-129, Eze 10-13 * missing Mark 3 Still, it does look salvageabl

As well as the ChiPinYin module in the Xiphos repository, if you have installed Xiphos, you could install the ChiUns module and then use Module Options in the Xiphos context menu, and select Transliteration. May not be exactly what you're seeking, but is certainly worth knowing about as a further
