ELECTRONIC DICTIONARY

An electronic dictionary stores words of a first language and words of a second language, in a first dictionary memory and a second dictionary memory, respectively. The stored words in the first and second dictionary memories can be displayed selectively as source language words at a display section upon operation of a search key on a keyboard. Either a word of the first language or a word of the second language is displayed as a corresponding object language word on the display section, after the source language word displayed at the display section is translated in response to a translation instruction.
