           Summary: Give up the concept of 'original' language and make all
                    languages interchangeable
           Product: kvoctrain
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: peter peterandlinda com
        ReportedBy: marc_heyvaert yahoo com


Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

The kvoctrain file structure uses the concept o an 'original' language, qualifying \
the other languages as translations of this orginal language. 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.
