This comprises a number of frequently asked questions about Dictionary, the language translation dictionary.

How much RAM do I need?

The program is 47K for PalmOS or 32K for PocketPC, and the language modules vary in size from 20K to about 5.8Mb.

Can I have more than one language module installed?

Yes, given you have enough available memory.

I've installed a dictionary but no icon appears on the Palm applications screen?

This is because you haven't installed the program: the 'dict.prc' file. This file is in the main distribution ZIP file.

Can I add my own words?

Yes, with the registered version. Just select the menu item 'New Entry'. You will be asked for a new word pair, in the format:

 lang1-word/lang2-equivalent

NOTE: you must NOT put spaces around the '/' character.

Can I build my own dictionaries?

Yes. Use the 'MakeDict.exe' Windows program. You can either edit the original word language modules or create you own list. See the help in the program for further instructions.
