Hello,
I’m currently developing an app for Spanish vocabulary revision, I’m a begginer to LUA, and beginner to programming altogether so any help would be greatly appreciated.
What I have is a list of Spanish words and their English translations and I’m trying to associate the two e.g. when you touch a Spanish word it turns into it’s English translation.
I know this has something to do with creating a table or array, but don’t know where to start!
If anybody could help me that would be fantastic.
Cheers,

You use Lua tables to create arrays.
This will create two Lua tables.
local spanish = {}
local english = {} This will add words into the Spanish array and the corresponding English word into the same indexed point in the English array.
[code]
spanish[1] = “SPANISH HELLO”
english[1] = “ENGLISH HELLO”
spanish[2] = “SPANISH GOODBYE”
english[2] = “ENGLISH GOODBYE”
