TRANSLATION EXERCISE

You will be given a sentence or phrase to translate.  Type the best translation you can for the sentence or phrase.  When you are done, click the 'Show The Answer!' button.   (Be aware that not all of the translations retrieved from the translation service are 100% correct.  So, do not feel discouraged if the answer you provided does not exactly match the answer in the 'Answer' box.)  You may then start a new translation exercise by clicking the 'Next Sentence' button.  The translation exercise supports 3 levels of difficulty ('Short sentences', 'Medium sentences', and 'Long sentences').  You may change to a new level of difficulty by selecting your desired level of difficulty from the drop-down menu and, then, clicking the 'Next Sentence' button.  NOTE:  To use the 'Translation Exercise' feature, you must have a working internet connection and be currently connected to the internet. 


['Settings' Menu]
'Change Translation Service...' :
	Click 'Change Translation Service...' on the 'Settings' menu to select the translation service you wish to use.  The translation service chosen here will be used for retrieving translations in both the 'Translate' section and the 'Translation Exercise' section.  It is a good idea to change the selected 'Translation Service' if you are receiving repeated error messages indicating that a translation could not be retrieved, or if you feel that you are receiving too many errors in the translations being retrieved.

If you have the Festival text-to-speech extension installed and usable, you may hear the words pronounced by clicking the light blue 'Play' button, generally located to the left of your screen.  Click 'Help' -> 'Festival Text-to-Speech Help...' on the menu for more information.
