Bug 191392

Version:           0.9.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When currently studying verb conjugation, the infinitive and tense are both given in the foreign language. Though this is helpful, it focuses more on having the user associate the conjugations with the foreign language's tense rather than translating. I believe that users would benefit from having an option of a "Translation mode" wherein they are given the verb and tense, as well as the verb conjugations in their own language and then have to translate them into the foreign language and vice-versa. That way, they can associate the foreign word with the native meaning rather than the foreign word with the foreign tense. I believe having the grounding of associating it with the native meaning may help to improve comprehension. This native word >to> foreign word (and vice-versa) style is what is currently used for words that are not verb conjugations (adjectives, nouns, etc.).

Just as an illustration, the current setup is like this:
------------------------------------
Avoir - présent de l'indicatif

je __________ nous ____________
tu __________ vous ____________
il/elle _____ ils/elles _______
------------------------------------


The desired additional configuration:
----------------------------------------------------
Translate to French:
----------------------------------------------------
Avoir - présent de l'indicatif
(to have - present indicative)

I have ______________ we have _________________
you have ____________ you have (pl) ___________
he/she has __________ they have _______________
----------------------------------------------------


----------------------------------------------------
Translate to English:
----------------------------------------------------
Avoir - présent de l'indicatif
(to have - present indicative)

j'ai ______________ nous avons ________________
tu as _____________ vous avez  ________________
il/elle a _________ ils/elles ont _____________
----------------------------------------------------


My compliments on Parley to all the developers. With or without this change, I believe it is a very helpful and worthwhile application for students and thank you for making it available. :)
