詞彙語言和偏好標誌

標誌也可以顯示詞彙的語言。如果詞彙標記為「偏好」（例如「英式英語-偏好」）那就表示此為該語言的偏好詞彙。一個詞彙可以擁有多種語言，因為不同的語言，會有不同的偏好詞彙。可參考上方的「偏好詞彙」。

請注意，當遇到非中文的詞彙時，修飾語仍會是中文。修飾語和詞彙位在不同的欄位，並不屬於詞彙的一部分。除了詞彙本身以外，其他的資料都是中文。

區別發音符號：如果在名稱或詞彙顯示區域出現四方形符號，那表示你的系統不能顯示萬國碼。你可以透過Vista、Mac OS 10.5或複製資料至MS Word文件中，瀏覽正確的區別發音符號。

Language of the term and preferred flag

The language of the term may be included. If the language is followed by "P" (as in "British, English-P") this means that this is the preferred term for the concept in that language. Multiple languages may be included for a single term, because one spelling of the term may be preferred in multiple languages. See also Preferred Term above.

Note that, even when the term represents a language other than Chinese(Traditional), the qualifier is still in Chinese(Traditional). The qualifier is located in a separate field and is not part of the term per se. All information other than the term itself is inChinese(Traditional).

Diacritics: If a box displays instead of a character in a name or term, this means that your system cannot display the Unicode character represented. You may view the full name or term with correct diacritics by using Vista, Mac OS 10.5, or often by pasting the word into an MS Word document.
