I love that you can translate from English to Chinese characters + pin
yin!! This is great!
Could you somehow incorporate a "translation" between Chinese
characters and Chinese pinyin? Basically what you guys already do
with the Google Chinese pinyin input toolbar that you can download
here:

I would like to be able to type in the pinyin in English, and get the
appropriate traditional Chinese characters for them (or many Chinese
options to choose from, seeing as many words/phrases has the same
pronunciation). Or, type in the English pinyin & have google
autocomplete/guess the sentence I am phonetically spelling out in
Chinese characters, like it does in the downloadable input toolbar.
e.g. typing in "Ping2 guo3" and getting 蘋果 as a result.
I played around with the translator a little on the English -->Chinese
setting. I was able to get 1 Chinese character option each time I
typed in a pinyin, but it was never an option that made sense.
e.g. "ru guo" got me "如國"
I think if it allowed me to put in the tone #, i.e. "ru2 guo3", it'd
narrow down the results better to results that make a little more
sense. And if multiple options were listed, I could choose the one I
meant.
This would be handy for people like me who are verbally fluent in
Chinese, but can't read/write. It could also be handy for people
trying to input Chinese characters without specialized software.
Thanks!!
