Aleksa Sarai 3d4e54c7e6 plugins: add Japanese Support plugin
This plugin provides support for Japanese deinflection during lookup as
well as making long-hold word selection actually select whole words
properly. With this plugin, word lookups in Japanese text in KOReader
become much easier, and no longer requires users to use special
dictionaries that have synonym-based deinflection rules defined (which
were always fairly annoying to use).

The basic idea and deinflection data for this plugin come from
Yomichan (which is also a GPL-3.0+ project), but everything was
implemented specifically for KOReader.

Japanese language support for KOReader, modeled after Yomichan.
This plugin extends KOReader's built-in dictionary and selection system to support Yomichan-style deinflection and text scanning, allowing for one-tap searches of inflected verbs and multi-character words and phrases. As such, this plugin removes the need for synonym-based deinflection rules for StarDict-converted Japanese dictionaries.
You must have at least one Japanese dictionary installed in order for this plugin to work smoothly with Japanese text.]]),
