The Translation field contains the translation of the word or phrase typed in the field above.

The button (Translate with ABBYY Lingvo) opens the corresponding cards from ABBYY Lingvo dictionaries.

The Save button saves the changes you have made to the card.

The Cancel button closes the Dictionary Card window without saving the changes.

The button (Word Forms) displays the grammatical forms of the current word.

The button (Play Sound) plays the pronunciation of the current word or phrase. The button is enabled only if the word or phrase was added from an ABBYY Lingvo card which had the sound facility.

The Transcription field displays the transcription of the current word or phrase.

Note:  

• For the correct display of transcription characters, add transcriptions from Lingvo cards, rather than typing them manually.
• Transcriptions must be 23 symbols or less. Longer transcriptions will not be displayed in the exercise window.

The Card status field shows the status of the card of the current word or phrase. You can change the status by clicking the arrow to the right.
