ABBYY Lingvo Cards

A card displays the translations of the word or phrase and additional information about the word, such as synonyms, antonyms, usage comments, and examples. A card is only displayed if there is in an entry in one of the enabled dictionaries which corresponds to the word or phrase you typed in the search field or selected in another application.

The title bar displays the heading of the entry and the translation direction.

The card toolbar displays command buttons which are used to change the appearance of the card and switch among dictionaries.

The text of the entry may have several zones:
