Sean,

Thanks,

Do you know where the translations are actually done?  I see we are using
term_translation_table to hold the values but I can't see where they get
set apart from via the api

It does look as though it is a sensible place as we are already using this
I'm assuming - we may need to make it slightly more flexible - currently we
have set languages defined. I appreciate the need for the stop words etc.

Are you the best person to liaise with about this

Toby
