Abstract

An electronic language interpreter, for enabling that a specific word in a first language be entered to obtain an equivalent translated word in a second language includes a memory specifying circuit for specifying each memory of a plurality of first memories for storing words written in the first language and second memories for storing translated words written in the second language. One of the first memories and one of the second memories both specified by the memory specifying circuit generate pairs of words including one of the words and its corresponding one of the translated word, respectively. A mode selector may be provided for selectively placing the language interpreter in an interpreter mode or in a mode wherein it functions as an electronic language learning aid for enabling that the plurality of translated words be sequentially retrieved from one of the second memories selected by the memory specifying circuit. Words considered to be equivalent to the translated words may be entered by the operator so as to determine their equivalency and to check his knowledge of the translated words.
