Though I managed to figure what front & back means, it is not very clear.

Team's Response

Thank you for your report.

For reference, the full message is:

Invalid command format! 
add: Adds a card to the current deck.
Parameters: FRONT:BACK
Example: add ありがとう:thanks

This is only our design opinion, but we believe the message coupled with the context of the application itself and the column headings of the right pane (Front | Back) was sufficient. We decided not to clutter the message box with a full definition of FRONT and BACK and instead opted to assume that the user had just forgotten the correct command syntax.

Furthermore, the definition of FRONT and BACK was stated in our UserGuide too and we also believe that it is sufficient for the user to understand it once they know what 'flashcard' is.

However of course, our opinions can change and we will keep your suggestion in mind for our future versions.
