Hi, and wel come to the forum. For a simple translation, it is easier to just use the translate tab on the toolbar at the top of the screen and type your phrase into the multiuse box. This will return results from three different machine based translators. These are not always the best translations, but will give you a good starting point. You can then come to the forum with more detailed questions.

Just as a quick comment on translations, without context, they can give you different meanings than intended. For example, Eddy's translaton is in the future tense, and is accurate. It means "at some time in the future, flash cards wil not translate". While correct, this may not be what you intended to say, depending on he stuation.

This can also mean "as a present condition, the flash cards will not work (inoperative computer flashcards). "Las tarjetas de memoría no funcionan".

Or you might mean that "the word 'flashcard' will not translate into Spanish". For the most part, this is true. The SD dictionary lists it as "tarjetas flash". Other sources use "tarjetas de memoría". Some just advise using the English "flashcards". Its just one of those words that doesn't have a real counterpart.
