• "English-> Italian (can->envase di acqua)
• "French-> Italian (réservoir-> envase di acqua)

Procedure for Reversing Entries in a User Dictionary
To reverse entries in a UD:
1. Click the source or target word or phrase you want to reverse.
Reversing the translation (target column) can be dangerous. For example,
defining an entry like “can” as an English source negatively impacts translation,
since it conflicts with the auxiliary verb “can”.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
 On the Edit menu, click Back translation.
 Press the right mouse button and click Back translation.
A double-arrow appears in the lower-left corner of the source language
column to show that the entry has been reversed.
3. To reverse additional entries, repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. If you change your mind about reversing an entry, click the entry, then
Back translation again to remove the double-arrow.
