That would render all (most?) translations moot (lets say in english version you have: a kitten, heels, lipstick, calendar/clock; word guessed: cougar, do italian/french/spanish.. use that word for what it is in english?) Good luck though

Yes, in Italian if you have the word "cane", we simply translate it into "dog" for English, for example (that is only have to translate the words)
The rule of game is that you have to guess the word that combines the four images

So...a lot of work

exactly, because if you look the original game, has several languages but they all have their link with the image

I have not put a link to download the game because it is not over yet, but if you want I can put a trial version

Cool game.

would be a good idea, but I do not know if I can put it on the store , because I haven't the permission of the real creators of the game .. and I would not end up in something illegal

EDIT: I have added the italian and english trial version of game
