I assume the number of translation is usually small: it probably doesn't
even exceed 5, or 10 at most, right? In that case, the best is probably
to map original -> tuple of possible translation.

Then just check her answer for "in".

Here's an example, using antonyms instead of tranlsation:

import random
database = {
'light': ('dark', 'heavy'),
'easy': ('difficult',)
}

word = random.choice(database.keys())
print "give me an antonym for %s:" % word
answer = raw_input().strip()
if answer in database[word]:
    print "right"
else:
    print "wrong"
