Lately I am encountering more situations in which it would be practical if I knew how to read some traditional characters.

I do not want to learn how to write them or their tones, just the reading/definition (I do not use reading). Is that possible?

More specifically, is it possible to add traditional characters to the queue, without having them being switched to simplified?

It sounds like the easiest way for your situation would be to change your settings to Traditional and just study the Reading/Definition for the list that you want.

You would have to put the traditional characters into a list, then set yourself to study traditional, definitions, then study the list, and change back to study the rest of your stuff.

It won't work as well with the queue because you would have to be in traditional mode both when you put them into the queue at first and when it went to add them from the queue, and you can't currently study just the queue.

Thank you, I will try doing so :)

This reminds me of an idea that someone suggested a long time ago: prompt us with the traditional character, and we have to write the simplified version. It would be somewhat more complicated in the other direction, as you'd need to show both the simplified character and the traditional definition and/or pinyin.
