The most obvious solution is two entirely separate dictionaries bound in contrasting colors. You want German to Latin you pick up the red volume; you want Latin to German you pick up the green volume. Put the one you'll be using on your desk and put the one you don't need right now out of reach on a high shelf. :-) --gary
