one word - multiple translations #17

Can I make a word have multiple translations?

Hi, there is currently no native 1:N support, you can just create multiple vocables with the same A word. ( See also #13 here for some of the problems arising with that approach when trying to de-duplicate. ) TLDR: I would like some support for this, but I don't know how I even would like to ask these in training. Let's say you can do multiple translations (speaking of the same Language), how would you do the input? Some of the options:

The current way is dead simple but that's also its power.

I'm calling for an open discussion here as I'm kind of in a dead end on how to approach this.

Id say any of the translations should be accepted.

Well that'll require a major DB change, so I want some more feedback on this before I throw code at it ;)

There's another thing that came up: entry for conjugations which are shown (at the Tip place) on successful solving of the vocable. This can help for verbs.
