The transcription is given for almost all the words, for example: yelp [jɛlp], yield [jiːld], yes [jɛs], yule [juːl], yokel [ˈjəʊkəl] ,yclept [ɪˈklɛpt] and other words.

Multitran dictionary tell you which syllable is stressed. The most popular system is to put a vertical line (ˈ) before the stressed syllable in the phonetic transcription of the word. For example, the transcription for yclept /[ɪˈklɛpt] /.

 

If a word has only one syllable (for example: yes, yelp), the syllable is always stressed. Dictionaries usually do not put the ˈ stress mark before the only syllable. So they don't write /ˈ jɛs / — they simply write / jɛs/.

All stylistic labels and terms of different subjects are italicized and marked by blue colour like:
