Re: Bug#310817: tipptrainer: Tipptrainer crashes when selecting a 2nd lesson after finishing the first.

Astri Kleppe had a suggestion that I really liked -- I even posted it on
the Tux Typing forum last summer, but I never got any response.
The suggestion is to turn it into something more than just a typing
program, namely a translation program. The falling letters say "dog",
and I (living in Norway) type "hund", "chien" in France, etc.
It does not seem like this would be too difficult to implement, and the
many people learning English all over the world would benefit.
While this might be a nice feature to have for TuxType it does not
seem to me like a competitor to Tipptrainer which is, well - a
"honest" program to teach typing while TuxType remains a (educational)
game.
I am still waiting for some sort of super-program to emerge that will include
all of these elements. I presented Tux Typing and Tux Math to one of
the teachers, and she complained that she wanted to make her own lists.
Maybe KTouch, KVoctrain, and KWordquiz should be together?
Maybe we should start collecting lists of vocabulary/translation
and post them in some common forum?
I think Tipptrainer just concentrates on one single feature and I
like this kind of programs which are not overloaded with features.
In this field tipptrainer seems to be kind of unique and thus I
would like to keep it. I hope to get some help for the open bug.
Kind regards
Andreas.
