i would be interested in what administration overhead with this translate_entry table if your goal is a lexicographical approach you could pull the data dictionary build routines from a search engine such as lucene or solr..that way you could handle modifiers such as adjectives and or adverbs with exception of BBN's dictionary i havent seen any products which address the need an interesting digression!
