Package: mnemosyne
Version: 2.11+ds1-2
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
When learning multiple languages, sometimes you get a situation where
language B and language A each have
an answer that you're expecting in that language (such as médecin <->
doctor いしゃ <-> doctor), but it's not clear what the best way is to
represent that in mnemosyne
now you *could* make a compound card deck (japanesefrench
frenchenglish japaneseenglish) etc representing
the japanese cards (translated to french) french cards(translated to
english) japanese cards(translated to english) etc but this seems to
have a lot of duplicated effort
what would help is a new card type, with colour associated : a
'multi-language vocabulary'
which quizzes the answer in different languages with a different
colour associated with each one
this might require a vertical scrollbar and multiple fields when
creating the card , so that for example
the background is red when menmosyne expects a japanese answer, green
when mnemosyne expects a french one
blue when mnemosyne expects an english one, etc. (for colour blind
people an option to display a number
of dots or something could be used instead)
just a thought - but at least *something* should be done to cover this
use-case in a way that doesn't involve just making 3 mostly-redundant
decks.
