How to Use the Dictionaries
• To translate or explain a word, start entering it from the keyboard.
Note: The MorphoFinder™ function helps you find source words for English past
participles, gerunds and plural forms. For example, if you enter "distributes" you will
get "distribute" as there is no translation or explanation for "distributes" because it is a
form of "distribute".
• If the desired word appears before you have finished typing, select it (tap the
corresponding line), or make sure it is highlighted and press
to see its
translation(s) or explanation(s).
