I use Anki 2.1.20 for Mac.

Everytime I open Anki after installing the addon I get this error message:

What should I do to fix this?
Thank you.

Duplicate of #114

I copied the hotfix (replace chinese.py by this) by @khonkhortisan and I can continue using the addon.

I have this same exact problem.
I’m not a coder I’m just a regular person , so I can’t understand what am I replacing ‘chinese.py’ with ? The link is to whole page of text . Please help :(

Step by step application of the hotfix

Browse to the templates folder by entering %Appdata%\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\1128979221\templates in Windows Explorer
Open the file Chinese.py with notepad
Browse to the "page of text", click in the text and type ctrl+A to select all of it
Back to the file opened in notepad, select everything there (ctrl+A) and replace it with ctrl+V
Save the file and the Addon should be usable again 🎉

The alternative is to wait until the PR by @khonkhortisan has been processed or another solution has been found.

How do I browse to the templates folder for Mac?

@razor3lade25 I suggest to check the file locations section in the manual.

~/Library/Application Support/Anki2
