Add Cyrillic language for export

[gggomg]

Good day, please, if you have such possibility, add support for Cyrillic language when exporting, because in my Obsidian I have this after script has finished.

Hey @gggomg - thanks for using the script! Can you specify what you'd like to have in Russian?

Looking at your screenshot, it appears you're referring to the **Note:** text which is actually something I've hardcoded in the script. If that's what you'd like to change then there are two options that come to mind:

1. You can manually edit the createMarkdownNote function in the readwise-GET.py script so that hardcoded text is written in your language / alphabet of choice e.g. Note:, References:, Tags: and %% Comments %%. If you also want to edit the YAML data at the top of the note and URL strings e.g. Readwise URL then it would involve more edits in the createMarkdownNote function. However if it's just the text in the note body then editing the following lines from release v2.1 should work:
   • line 1459 >> highlightData.append("**Note:** " + str(note) + "\n")
   • line 1464 >> highlightData.append("**Tags:** " + str(tags) + "\n")
   • line 1471 >> highlightData.append("**References:** " + str(references) + "\n")
   • line 1478 >> highlightData.append("**References:** " + str(url) + "\n")
   • line 1481 >> highlightData.append("**References:** " + str(url) + " " + str(references) + "\n")
   • line 1501 >> highlightData.append("\n" + "%% " + "Last Updated: " + "[[" + str(date) + "]]" + " %%" + "\n")
   • line 1504 >> highlightData.append("\n" + "%% " + "Last Updated: " + "[[" + str(date) + "]]" + " %%" + "\n")
2. I can look into ways of integrating with this Python library which appears to offer automatic language detection and conversion. This may take a bit longer for me to do but would save you having to manually edit the script (option 1) every time I post updates

@nicrivard Good day and thank you very much for your answer and guides! So now I'm facing these problems:

1. I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with Python. I've found these lines in script but I don't know what I should write to have Russian transliteration :(

2. You are right - I need some YAML data at the top and each highlight in Russian also (as it is presented in my Readwise library). BTW, Readwise itself has no problems exporting my highlights in Russian without any transliteration throught built-in Markdown export (see screenshots).

3. Also for some reason each my highlights list have reversed order when exported to Obsidian - it is uncomfortable too.

So if you have enough time and desire - I'd like to wait until you integrate library above with automatic language detection. I'm sorry if you found me somehow annoying with all these problems. Thanks again for your great work!
