Info: On Windows and macOS you might see a window, that tells you, that the operatig system doesn't trust the application or that the application is not signed. You can safely ignore that and click on something like "open anyway". On Windows, click on "more info" and continue anyway. On Mac, you'll need to click on the application while holding "ctrl" an choose open from the new menu. (See this article for more information.)
In order to use the Vocabulary Trainer you need a correctly formatted .json-file. You can see how to create one down below. You then need to open the file with the Vocabulary Trainer and the program will show you the first foreign word. Enter a translation and, if you need to, also additional grammar. You can also enter multiple translations by separating them with a comma. The grammar has to be entered completely. If you entered your translation and grammar, click on the check button to see if you're input was correct. If this is not the case, you will now see the correct answer. Click on "Continue" to go to the next word. The Vocabulary Trainer will count your correct answers as well as your already finished words while you are practicing.
