Specific to the Chinese language (possibly also Japanese and Korean), allows for the review previous/current/next character script to initiate a query of a database containing definitions and nouns constructed from the character. This is important to blind users of the Chinese language in order to distinguish different characters with the same pronunciation.
I have made a very crude implementation of this functionality in the default.py appModule by tagging the character with five "" characters and then defining the correspondingly desired speech information in the builtin.dic speech dictionary.
Here are the changes I made to the review previous/current/next character scripts. Note that I also defined a "chtNounConstruct" variable in the config file for toggling on/off the functionality. The appended builtin.dic is a bit large, so I did not include it here.

lineInfo=api.getReviewPosition().copy()
lineInfo.expand(textInfos.UNIT_LINE)

charInfo.collapse()
res=charInfo.move(textInfos.UNIT_CHARACTER,-1)
if res==0 or charInfo.compareEndPoints(lineInfo,"startToStart")<0:
speech.speakMessage(_("left"))

reviewInfo.expand(textInfos.UNIT_CHARACTER)

I am not an expert programmer, so I am guessing this kind of crude implementation would not be on-par with what the NVDA Project expects from its contributers. If someone could reorganize the described functionality into something more acceptable, that would be great.
Thanks.
