           Summary: 1st language column (e.g. English) is hidden after
                    scrolling to right when multiple languages are
                    selected
           Product: parley
           Version: 0.9.4
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: parley-bugs-null@kde.org
        ReportedBy: rp_orourke@yahoo.ca


Version:           0.9.4 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

When creating a kvtml file with multiple languages (especially when additional
columns are selected i.e. Word Type, Pronunciation etc.) it is difficult to add
translations to newly added languages as the first column (usually where one
would place their native language) becomes hidden after scrolling to languages
further to the right. Since language columns cannot be rearranged this means
one must scroll back and forth between the first column and any new language
column to type in new translations. I thought of a few tweaks that could fix
the problem: either have a freeze pane option (like in spreadsheet programs) to
keep the native language on the left-hand side; or allow drag and drop sorting
of the language columns (to place languages to the far right beside the native
language for easier access); or allow language columns themselves to be hidden
(without deleting contents which would happen in removing them from the
Languages menu). I'm not sure how difficult one of these changes would be to
implement but I think it would drastically improve usability for those who
would like to store word translations for several languages in one file.

Reproducible: Always
