Images are well-suited for learning the words of foreign
languages. Using Smage, image regions can be
associated with words that are automatically translated
into other languages when a coded image is explored. The
connection between the image region and the word
describing that region facilitates the learning process.
To encode a dictionary entry, the following steps are necessary:
- Selection of the image region, with which the
dictionary entry is associated (left image below).
- Upon pressing the button highlighted in the right
image below, a dialog for entering the vocable
appears.

- The left image below shows the dialog for entering a
vocable in an afore selected language. Typically,
translations of this vocable are not necessary since the
program is accompanied by a file with the basic vocabulary.
- After pressing the OK button, a D icon is
integrated in the image (right image below). The vocable
can be edited by selecting this icon.

- Finally, dictionary entries are encoded into the
image by pressing the button highlighted in the left
image below.
- The right image below shows the result. As the mouse
cursor enters a coded region, a window appears that can
be sticked at its location. The languages to be shown
witin this window can be selected in the menu Image
Dictionary (right image below).
