Abstract:
A foreign language dictionary provides Language 1-to-Language 1 functionality, Language 1-to-Language 2 functionality, and Language 2-to-Language 2 functionality. The dictionary may include a plurality of entries each having a first language section and a second language section. For example, the first language section may be in English, while the second language section may be in Spanish. The first language section of each entry may include a target word in the first language and a definition of the target word, thereby providing an English-to-English dictionary. The second language section may include a phonetic of the target word of the first language and a translation of the target word in the second language, thereby providing an English-to-Spanish dictionary. In addition, the second language section may include a definition of the translation in the second language, thereby providing a Spanish-to-Spanish dictionary.
