How do I use the Definition and Translation tools?

Translate text in Edu Pro To translate text, select the language icon.  The cursor changes to the language cursor.  Select the text with this cursor.  The translation appears in the sidebar.

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.

Translation Settings To adjust the translation settings, click the arrow to the right of the language icon in the toolbar. Use the pop-up menu to scroll through language translation options. "Translate from" on the left, and "Translate to" on the right.

Definitions To look up a definition of a word, select the dictionary icon. The cursor changes to the dictionary cursor.  Select the text with this cursor.  The definition appears in the sidebar.

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.
