I've got a page set up on iGoogle that has various back and forth translators between different languages I know or am interested in. It's pretty quick and easy, adding a Rev interface wouldn't save me much, I don't think.
But I was interested in graphical interfaces for simple vocabulary, nouns and verbs, ala the First 1000 Words series. And beyond would be nice, of course. It would be a simple project to start, and a long one to do right, I think.
Thanks
Mark

>> Has anyone developed any vocabulary/ language learning stacks in Rev? Seems like an apt application for the tool, but I didn't see anything in revOnLine. Picture dictionary type things with rollovers for different languages? Remember those First Thousand Words books with contextualized drawings showing vocabulary for the kitchen, barnyard, garden, etc.?

There are some things online, but nothing of particularly good quality. Good, coherent artwork would be a real issue, even with the abundance of free clip-art online, it would be fragmented and of questionable quality.
