Anki displays cards by combining the fields you've entered with a template that says which fields should appear on the front and back of your cards. If you receive a message that a card has a blank front, it means either none of the fields included on your front template have any text in them, or you have fields that have text, but none are included on the front template. You can fix this problem by editing the card on the computer version, clicking on Cards, and checking to make sure at least one field with some text on it is included on the front template. You can add extra fields with the Add Field button.

Recent Anki and AnkiMobile versions synchronize sounds and images in the background, allowing you to continue using the app while they are transferred. Until the media files have been transferred, audio may fail to play, and images may fail to appear if those files are not available yet.

As Anki is run as a business, it is difficult to accept donations. Instead, we make available AnkiMobile to raise funds for development. You can purchase AnkiMobile on your Apple mobile device, and the proceeds from it go towards supporting Anki's development.

By default, Anki displays interface text such as menus and dialog boxes in the language you selected when you ran Anki for the first time. If you selected wrong or want to use multiple languages, you can change the language in Anki's preferences screen (ctrl+p on Windows/Linux, cmd+, on OS X). After selecting a new language, restart Anki for the new language to take effect.

It appears that an alpha build of Anki has been included in the Arch package manager. The alpha builds are not ready for regular use yet, and bugs could cause data loss, so it should not have been packaged. If you are an Arch user, please uninstall the alpha and report the issue to the package maintainer.
