1. An electronic word conversion device wherein a first word or words represented in a first language are entered to obtain a second word or words represented in a second language equivalent to the first word or words, comprising: input means operable for entering a partial word in said first language, said partial word containing at least one character; means for storing a plurality of full-length words in said first language and their associated translated words in said second language; means for addressing the storing means so as to search the plurality of full-length words and their associated translated words; means for selecting at least one of said full-length words containing letters corresponding to the letters contained within said partial word; auto-search means responsive to a single actuation of an auto-search key for selectively driving said means for selecting to repetitively enable said addressing means to select a plurality of full-length words having one or more characters common to the partial word and the translated words corresponding to said full-length word; display means, responsive to said means for selecting, for indicating each full-length word and its associated translated word selected by said addressing means; said full-length words and their associated translation words being separated in said storing means from adjacent full length words and their associated translation words by first separation code information, said first separation code information being used by said addressing means to locate the beginning of each full-length word in said storing means; and auto-search enable flip-flop being set to selectively activate said auto-search means; said device, when said auto-search means is disabled by resetting said flip-flop to place said device in a single scanning mode, displaying only a single full-length word and its associated translation.
