I'm trying to build a dictionary primarily in one language. Nevertheless, for conveyance I'd like to support searching for words and definitions in two other languages as well.

In my case, my entire dictionary is in gsw_FR (Alsatien). Since Alsatien is sometimes hard to type due to unclear grammar and orthography rules, I'd like to provide an opportunity to search for the entries in de_DE (German) and fr_FR (French) as well - while the dictionary itself remains fully Alsatien.

I'm having a UX as the Lëtzebuerger Online Dictionaire in mind where I can select the language I type in before getting the result in the actual language of the dictionary shown.

Is there any good way to create this using odict ?

Would I just use an example or note ? In this case, could I somehow add an attribute clarifying the language of the example or note ? Would it maybe even be meaningful to introduce a translation tag to reference the entry in other languages ?

Thanks a lot for ideas and thoughts !
