The check is on the 'foreign word' field, and brun and marron are there different words. And although you could both translate them as brown, they are in fact not interchangeable :-)

What if it's just checking for duplicates within, say, English - French
(so each language has its own card type)? For example, two cards being
brown-brun and brown-marron don't show up as being duplicates, yet
they're in the same card type.

    If you have two card types for different languages, you don't want a
    card 'house - maison' to be marked as a duplicate of 'house - casa'.
    So, it's best to put all words from the same language in the same card
    type.

    As for synonyms, i.e. the same foreign word having two different
    translations, that's best handled manually as opposed to automatic
    detection, since it's very rare that words are exactly equivalent, but
    depend on the context.

    Cheers,
