You can translate words or phrases you encounter while reading dictionary cards.

To translate a word or phrase from a card, do one of the following:

  • On the card, double-click the word or phrase you wish to translate.
  • On the card, select the word you wish to translate, right-click your mouse and choose Translate from the local menu.
  • On the card, select the word or phrase you wish to translate and choose Translate into all languages from the local menu. (This option is only available in Lingvo Multilingual Edition. For details see Lingvo Multilingual Version Features).
  • On the card, select the word or phrase you wish to translate and press CTRL+INS+INS or CTRL+C+C.

Whichever option you choose, Lingvo will translate the selected word as if you were translating a word from the Edit Line.
