Is it possible to create dictionary / translator?

Dear form-masters :-)
Is there any way how the chronoforms can be used to make very easy translator/dictionary?

Let say I have 100 simple text strings in 5 languages (easily can be created as database table of 5 columns and 100 rows) and I want to make a page/form, where the user can pick the word from, let say, drop-down list and the translation action gives him the translations into all the four other languages of that chosen word.

I woud very much appreciate help on this.
With many thanks in advance

Hi jiri,

You could do this fairly easily with a little JavaScript. For the number of rows you suggest here you could load all the results into the page in hidden <div>s then display the result you want when the drop-down changes.

For a larger database you could do something similar using an Ajax script to get the result from the database.
