What you should know

For normal entries, WebTerm shows the source and target-language terms in the search results:

Displaying subentries

An entry may contain what are know as "subentries" for such items as an abbreviation for the main entry, for instance. The subentries have a defined relationship to the main entry.

WebTerm displays subentries as well as the main entry:

WebTerm recognises the following subentry types:

Table 5-1: Possible subentries

In the search result	Meaning
Abbr.	Abbreviation
Syn.	Synonym
Alt.	Alternative (e.g. for inflected plural form)
User	User index (for any purpose, e.g. article numbers)
Irreg.	Irregular form (e.g. for irregular verb forms)

If you require more information about the relationship between main and subentries, read the section "Terminology data structure".

Display of additional data record fields

Depending on configuration, WebTerm can also display more data record fields:

Whether and which additional data record fields are displayed is determined by the administrator in the WebTerm administration.

Cross-reference to main entry

In the case of subentries (e.g. a synonym or an abbreviation) WebTerm shows a cross-reference to the main entry rather than a translation:
