Each card has a headword (this may be a word or a phrase) and its possible translations. Depending on the dictionary, a card may also contain pronunciations, usage examples, labels, comments, synonyms, antonyms, and hyperlinks to related entries. At the tope of a card, the name of the dictionary and the translation direction are displayed.

Words that are shown in blue are hyperlinks. Clicking these words will open their respective cards from the dictionaries in which they have been found.
Words that are shown in green italics are labels. Clicking these words will bring up the full text of the labels.
Additionally, you can set up ABBYY Lingvo to highlight stressed vowels in card headwords and in the text of entries. (The default colour is red.)

Displaying Chinese Characters

For the Chinese language, you need a font capable of displaying hieroglyphic characters. Such a font can be installed either into the main memory of your smartphone or onto a memory card. We recommend installing hieroglyphic fonts onto a memory card as they usually require considerable memory.

To install a hieroglyphic font, do one of the following:

Copy the required font files from your desktop PC into the smartphone folder Program Files\ABBYY Lingvo\Fonts (this will install the font into the main memory) or into <card name>\Program Files\ABBYY Lingvo\Fonts (this will install the font onto the selected memory card).
On a memory card, create a folder called Program Files (if it has not yet been created). Then in the Program Files folder, create a folder called ABBYY Lingvo, and in the ABBYY Lingvo folder create a folder called Fonts. Finally, copy the required font into the Fonts folder by means of a Card Reader device or a third-party application.

To select the newly installed font, open the Fonts dialog box (Menu>Options>Fonts).

Installing/removing dictionaries

ABBYY Lingvo can be installed either in the main memory of your smartphone or an SD memory card. We recommend installing dictionaries on a memory card.
To install/remove dictionaries in ABBYY Lingvo 12 Smartphone for Windows Mobile:
1. Make sure that your smartphone and your desktop PC are communicating.
2. On the desktop computer, go to Start>Programs>ABBYY Lingvo 12>PDA Setup Manager and select Pocket PC, Smartphone (Windows Mobile®).

4. In the dictionary list that opens, select the dictionaries you wish to install and specify where they should be stored, either in the main memory or on an SD card. In this dialog box you can also provide a path to user dictionaries and deselect those dictionaries that should be removed.
5. Follow the instructions of the setup program.
Note:

You can also remove dictionaries from your smartphone without running the PDA Setup Manager on the desktop PC.

For optimal performance we recommend that you do not install more than 4 dictionaries.

You can also install dictionaries by using one of the following methods:

Copy the required dictionaries files from your desktop PC in the Program Files\ABBYY Lingvo\Dic folder (to install the dictionaries into the main memory) or the <card name>\Program Files\ABBYY Lingvo\Dic folder (to install the dictionaries onto the SD card).
On the memory card, create a folder and name it Program Files (unless such folder already exists). In this folder, create a folder named ABBYY Lingvo. In the ABBYY Lingvo folder, create a folder named Dic and copy the desired dictionaries into this folder by means of a Card Reader device or by using third-party applications. The dictionaries you install by using this method will be available together with all the other installed dictionaries once you plug the card into the smartphone and launch ABBYY Lingvo or, if the program is already running, after you open the Dictionaries dialog box (Menu>Dictionaries).
