Translating 3 languages into one another
Hi everyone. Happy New Year. I need to learn vocabulary in 3 different languages and be able to translate each word/expression into the other 2 (A to B, B to A, A to C, C to A, C to B and B to C). Should I create 3 reverse cards for each word (A/B/A - A/C/A - B/C/B) or is there a way of obtaining the same thing with only one card and 3 fields? Thanks a lot 😀 :

You can use a single note type with 6 card types, each one testing for a combination.
You can design your card templates like this:
Front:
```auto
B: {{A}}
```
Back:
```auto
{{B}}
```
This tests for the A-B combination. The other card types will be as simple as this.
The “`B:`” part here is what tells you what language you have to recall here.
You can create a new note type from **Tools \> Manage Note Types**.
If you’re not familiar with card templates, I recommend reading the [Card Templates](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/intro.html) sections of the manual.
Another simpler option is to just create 3 notes using the basic reversed note type as you said.

Here’s a sample notetype using the languages German, English and French: [Gofile - Free file sharing and storage platform](https://gofile.io/d/7o76KM)
Just rename the fields to your desired languages and you’re good to go.
