This is a standard problem with all of the books used in schools, these all use a slightly different learning scheme. Words should be in a format that teachers can enter them.

I totally agree on this. It is most important for dyslectic children to put the word in context with it's meaning. 

Maybe the words could be in a format so that these can be used for the new spelling app as well.

I agreed with Anne-Marie on dividing the words in syllabels so that the words seperated by a ;  (com;pu;ter), a tedious job I am doing at the moment. Maybe the same standard should be used for Kvoctrain as well. The words could be used for spelling (klearnspelling,khangman,kmessedwords) and kvoctrain...! Giving an extra dimension!

example:

English-German

gar;den=Gar;ten

I have no experience in teaching other languages, and donnot know if a spelling problem does exists (but why not).

Maybe Ktopo could be converted to read a 'clickable map' html-type file....I donnot know anything about coding....just an idea. There should be teachers who could make such a file.

So my one cent worth..
