Without seeing your code, I doubt anyone will be able to solve your problem
except by pure chance. In addition to that, I'm confused by the use of
function calls in what seems te be essentially a menu system. 

Speaking in general terms, the way you could handle this is as follows:
- have a main menu loop (what you call the lobby) which accepts user input
and based on that input calls other functions which perform certain tasks
(e.g. open a webpage or go to the dictionary part)
- the dictionary part would in turn be another loop accepting words as
input which get 'translated', until the user gives a blank string or
whatever as input in order to terminate the loop (and automatically fall
back into the loop of the lobby)
