Vocabulary training Japanese Kanji, Kana, translation

Hello everyone, I would like to know what language you would recommend for me to write a vocabulary trainer for German or English to Japanese with the options of Kanji and Kana. Kana exists of two syllable alphabets 'hiragana' and 'katakana'. Kanji are the chinese characters that are used for nouns, verbs and simply let's say a lot. Where as hiragana is mostly for conjugation and prefixes or some particles etc. Katakana is mainly for the not originally Japanese words e.g. names or cities. I would like to write a code, so that I can have a list of words in each category which belong together. I would appreciate a way that you get either a Kana or kanji and have to type the correct translation and the other way around. In my home system on Linux I have a bash code for giving me a random word out of a list I wrote. Is it possible e.g. to write that in Java with arrays to show me a vocab and I have to type in the answer? Or which do you recommend? I am aware of html/CSS, just didn't finish+ Very basic js&Java

Sorry but there were no characters left. I would really like to see what you would recommend. I mean like Kana: あした kanji: 明旄 English: tomorrow / German: morgen And probably the romanization: ashita The romanization is how it is pronounced if you are not able to read Kana. But that is not an issue for me. And learning with Kana is the better way. There are many examples why that is but I don't want you to get lost in the Japanese language which is highly difficult, but most interesting imo. If you are interested look it up on Wikipedia at Japanese language. It blows your mind.

Srsly no one? Now I just finished CSS and js too. I may have come up with a conclusion. I will try a few things in the next couple of days. But a normal vocabulary trainer would be a nice challenge I think. Just a normal x=y vocab learning system. If anyone wants to help me either way, that'll be nice. I just thought of getting on a CSS project.
