When you have a brand new, empty dictionary, the first thing you'll probably want to do is change the title to whatever your conlang is called and add at least a little description of what your language is like or how to use it. You can do this by clicking on the Settings button, which will open up the settings screen. Here, you will find all the fields you need to update your dictionary's Name and Description/Rules. The Description/Rules text area uses [Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/) to format any text you include, so brush up on how to do basic things in Markdown before you get started _(NOTE: a line break is done by adding 2 or more spaces to the end of the line and then going to the next line!)_. After this, make sure that the Parts of Speech are adequate for your language _(see below for more information about this)_. Update these fields to what you want them to say and click the "Save" button to keep the Settings menu open, or the "Save and Close" button to close the menu and start adding words!
To add words, just use the form on the top left side of the window. Hopefully the form is self-explanatory, but if not, here's a little guide:
Enter the word in your language in the "Word" field, an equivalent word or short definition in the "Equivalent Word" field, a longer definition or fuller explanation of the word using [Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/) in the "Explanation" text area, choose a part of speech, and click "Add Word". Your word will instantly appear in your dictionary under the dictionary's name! You can add as many words as you want this way.
The only things to remember while adding new words is that the minimum information that you can enter is the Word itself and either the Equivalent Word OR the Explanation. You can have both of these or just one, but you need at least one. If you do not want to use the Parts of Speech, you do not need to, though you will miss out on the handy Filter feature of the dictionary.
Enter the word in your language in the "Word" field, the pronunciation of the word in the "Pronunciation" field, choose a Part of Speech, enter an equivalent word/short definition in the "Equivalent Word(s)" field and/or a longer definition or fuller explanation of the word using [Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/) in the "Explanation/Long Definition" text area, and click "Add Word". Your word will instantly appear in your dictionary under the dictionary's name! You can add as many words as you want this way.
The only things to remember while adding new words is that the minimum information that you can enter is the Word itself and either the Equivalent Word OR the Explanation. You can have both of these or just one, but you need at least one. If you do not want to use the Pronunciation or Parts of Speech then you do not need to, though if you leave out Part of Speech, you will miss out on the handy Filter feature of the dictionary.
And that's all you need to get started! Everything else should be pretty self-explanatory, but a full explanation of Dictionary Builder and all of its functions continues below.
