	- dictionary		
		User can customize a dictionary. By default user can choose an 
                Italian or English dictionary. Dictionary is related to 
                managed data field. For examples: you can translate "first 
                name" in your language. Now the translation is used only in 
                preview, where user can see: "first name translation" 
                the_first_name, etc. It is planned to use this feature into 
                the html export, so user can have an addressbook html list in 
                his native (or preferred) language. Look at example under doc 
                directory.

                shows all addresses contained in addressbook, while in the 
                rigth one shows data contained in the selected address.
		
		four buttons are available for navigation. first (show the 
                first card in addressbook), last (show the last card in 
                addressbook), next (show the next card) and prev (show the 
                previous)
