Translate text in Edu- In the free Edu K12 plan, words are translated one at a time rather than sections of text.
- The results are similar to a dictionary, listing parts of speech with each definition. The word in the specified language is bold.

Translations and Definitions in the Sidebar- If the definition/translation seems to appear and disappear quickly, scroll down in the sidebar.
- Definitions & translations appear in the sidebar in the same order they appear in the article.
- Unless removed manually, definitions & translations remain in the sidebar and are visible each time the dictionary icon is clicked in the sidebar.
- To remove a definition or translation from the sidebar, click the trash can icon in the top right of that definition or translation box.
