While this makes sense for general usage of languages (A translates into B; A translates into C ==> B translates into C does not always hold!) It is valid for a lot of specific uses, read lexicologies. KVoctrain is limiting in this respect because you can not generate exercises between 'translated' languages. A second wish, but closely related to this one is that the concept of 'language' may be too limiting as well. Take the example of Chinese. We have simplified characters, traditional characters, and a few popular romanisations (e.g. pinyin, Wade-Giles). Ideally one would have one kvoctrain file that contains all these elements with a possibility of generating quizzes between all these 'forms' of the chinese language, in all directions.
