Multi word phrases are not automatically saved to word list

When I am reading I frequently want to check what 2 or 3 words mean when used together, and I want that translation to save just like any other single word one. However, after I have highlighted a phrase I am interested in, the next time I go to click on a single word to get translated, it deletes the card I had for the previous phrase.

The only work around I have found is that if I am in a regular text I can flip back to the last page and when I flip back, the phrase has been saved. But as I discovered when reading the lyrics to a song with a youtube video linked, I had to fully refresh the page as there is no way to flip between pages in this view.

In summary, I love Readlang and have come here after using multiple other language learning readers and I like this one the best, so just want to see it become the best app possible.

Please open the sidebar on the reader page and set the “On Deselect Word/Phrase” setting to “Keep Flashcard”:

If you do this then when you click to deselect a translated word/phrase, it will stay saved to your account instead of being deleted.
