This is a simple python/sqlite interactive database designed to help authors, worldbuilders, and conlangers keep track of the words in their created language.
As of last update, this program only supports single-word translation. Multi-word/phrase translation can be done in a roundabout way by entering the phrase as a new "word"*, but sentence translation must be completed by the user since conlang grammar often diverges from English grammar.
Note: While not at all required, I would love to be told if anyone uses my code. I love helping people and it's nice to know when my work pays off.
*If you take this path, adding a category called "phrases" is recommended.
