It does, sounds sensible enough, though I'd be a bit worried about producing too much with no one around to correct any mistakes. Seems it worked well, though. Will have to have a look at Tower of Babelfish too.

I was thinking of doing something like that with the words and pictures, just to learn more nouns quickly. Except I wanted to include a phrase (in Japanese, of course) like 'What is the Japanese word for [onion]?'  on the front along with the picture, and something like 'It's called [玉ねぎ]' on the back, because I seem to get confused and remember less well if it's just a picture and no words, I don't think I really think in pictures. That would also avoid potential confusion over what exactly the word I was meant to come up with was supposed to be (though, it would maybe be better to put the kanji compound on the front, come to think of it). Wasn't sure what would sound most natural, though, hmm.

After reading the site more, I feel like it would work a lot better with languages that were more similar, ie. various romance languages. I can't count the number of times I've known all the words in a Japanese sentence, and still not understood what the sentence means.
