A vocabulary file with Chinese characters, Pinyin and English

I taught I could circumvent one of the language limitations...not.

I started creating a vocabulary file containing all the (simplified) Chinese
characters + their Pinyin transcription (= a system of transcribing Chinese
using roman alfabet + a translation in English.

I used 'Chinese' twice, once as original language, once as translation. This is
not blocked by kvoctrain, as you can see, but you can not generate questions
using Chinese/Chinese. With English it is ok. Now try to change the name of the
first translation from Chinese into (say) French. Now generating questions
works as to be expected.

So 2 issues : (1) Checking for duplicate languages when defining them and
blocking this...or allowing it, but then the necessary stuff has to be done to
remove the problem with the generation of tests. (2) Perhaps -short term- it is
possible to add the possibility to define your own 'custom' languages on top of
the KDE and ISO possibilities. This would be sufficient for me to continue my
work on this vocabulary, without having to use a work-around like pretending
that French is Chinese (perhaps not far of the mark :)	).
