This causes problems when using the English field for English sound and IPA - which expect 1 line and 1 word or a very short phrase.
Also for memorizing vocabulary, words should be 1-to-1. Having another field with more detailed meaning, context, or additional translations can definitely be useful but should be stored in another field.
Option 1: Clean the English field to take only the first line.
Pro: IPA and English translation can use this easily. No change to IPA or English sound logic.
Con: We lose context and additional translations.
Option 2: Create a new English field that has only the first line, and let IPA and English sound use this as a source field.
Pro: IPA and English translation can use the new field. We can keep additional translations, and even add more context or example sentences without affecting the field IPA or English sound uses.
Cons: Requires changing the card type. Requires modifying the IPA and English sound logic to use a different field.
