Here are additional notes on working with Shona language pages involving Shona-English dictionary, English-Shona dictionary, and Shona sample sentences. I have used the English-Shona dictionary only as a typical example in order to explain how to work with these pages.
The text box above the word list has an autocomplete feature that updates the word list as you type.
You can then select the word you need meaning for whenever it appears in the list
below the text box. Words in the list may contain spelling errors and it is for this reason that you
need to select words from the list
since only words in this list can be searched. You can scroll down to view additional words. See
Figure 1 below.
Please note that the word list presented here is not inclusive.

Click Search after whole word is displayed in the top box (see Figure 2) to view the meaning of the word or phrase and the corresponding
Shona word(s). See Figure 3.

The selected word or phrase's meaning and corresponding Shona word(s) only change when the
Search button is selected. You can scroll down to view additional word meanings for word with multiple meanings that exceed the height of the Meanings window. Use the scrollbar
located on the left of the advertisement sidebar. See
Figure 3.
Figure 3.
For instance, if you replace the word "
run" with the word "
rest", meanings
of the word "
rest" and corresponding Shona word(s) will only appear, as shown in
Figure 4, when the
Search button is selected.
