I’ve created this little tool to help myself (and hopefully others) learn French while doing breaks from computer work to avoid RSI. It’s a WorkRave replacement of sorts but I didn’t put any effort to lock you out from the PC – you really have to cooperate – it’s for your own good. Just provide the correct French translation of the English word dislayed and go do some stretching. Be a good girl/boy! This application is backed by http://watchout4snakes.com/creativitytools/RandomWord/RandomWordPlus.aspx and Google Translate which provide the random word and translations respectively. Source code is provided on the usual BSD license. The scheduling has to be done manually using Windows Scheduled Tasks mechanism (see addtask.bat script) or other system-specific scheduling facilities. Cheers!
