Thanks you for helping the OpenTeacher project by filing this bug!

We (the OpenTeacher devs) agree this is a problem which exists in both
our 2.x and 3.x series. We'll fix it differently in both series probably
since they differ from each other when entering words.

The 2.x solution will be:
- having the possibility to 'escape' characters by prefixing them with '\'. By doing that, they're not used to determine the next answer.
- having the ';', ',' and '=' characters inside the 'onscreen keyboard' (the thing on the right side of the screen), which will automatically insert '\;', '\,' and '\=' respectively.

We've not yet agreed about a 3.x solution, but that one will follow :).

If you've got any questions or other ideas, don't hesitate to contact us
either via Launchpad or by chatting directly to us:

Title:
  Using a comma in the unknown language forces the clause after the
  comma into the Second Answer field

Status in OpenTeacher:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenTeacher 2.x series:
  Triaged
Status in OpenTeacher 3.x series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you want to use OpenTeacher to learn sentences there is a problem
  if the sentence contains a comma. The sentence in the Unknown (Answer)
  Language is split at the comma with the words after the comma being
  placed into the Second Answer field.  A "work around" is to edit the
  .ot file in a text editor but it might be nicer if this wasn't
  necessary.
