Hey, I have a program that's a dynamically allocated dictionary that works like this:

Choose a dictionary:

1. English,Spanish,French

2. English,Hebrew

3. Spanish,English

   1
   

Enter a word in English,Spanish,French:

Thank_you,Gracias,Merci

The word has been added successfully!

Later I use the function above, printWordList, to try and print all the words (and their translations, Thank_you,Gracias,Merci counts as one, with Gracias and Mercy being in the translations array)

The function works perfectly when there's only one word and translations, but if I add another word to the list, it enters an endless loop and still only prints the first word.

Would really appreciate some help with this, thanks a lot in advance!

As it is, the printWordList function you posted above will not go for endless loop, unless you made a mistake in filling the next value for the last node.
