Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Thai romanized, and what font is it set in?
Romanization is Paiboon: tone over the vowel, long vowels doubled, syllables hyphenated. ส้มตำ becomes sôm-dtam. Text is set in Noto Thai, with Kanit and Sarabun available in the reader.
How does Libgrafy split and translate Thai words?
Thai has no spaces, so boundaries are inferred with a bundled dictionary — the wordcut/pythainlp word list — and maximal matching, not the browser ICU splitter, which mis-splits real words. Each word is then translated in the context of its sentence, not from a dictionary entry.
Do I need to know the Thai alphabet before I start?
It helps, but you do not have to wait. Tap-to-translate works as a crutch while your decoding speeds up, so you can start reading real Thai before you have the script memorized.
Can I see where the words break?
Yes. Word spacing is a toggle. Turn it on and Libgrafy shows you the gaps Thai does not write. Turn it off once you can spot the boundaries yourself.
What level can I read at?
From beginner up through advanced. Set your level and the vocabulary and grammar of each article are calibrated to match it.
