Hi, I was wondering how accurate a mapping file would be for Russian to English. What I mean by 'mapping file' is basicly a list of words in English with the Russian equivilent next to them.

That way a simple program could be used to look-up the word quickly. Grammar might not be too hard to add either if there were the main gramatical rules shown in use in a sentence. I'm not sure exactly how this would work but I think a very basic mapping of one language onto another would work well enough for even a complete newbie in a language to understand.

Any thoughts on this or care to offer some common words in English & Russian or perhaps example and explanaition of very common grammar rules?
