8a: Tags in alfabetical order... and we have to think how to have a huge number in many languages...

8b: is there a way to connect a tag in English with one in Spanish (eg. Water - Agua)? (the support team would edit this correspondence table?) Terms can be translated...

So when you search for water... will you also get content tagged with Agua?(multilingual tag search)

A basic way to connect is for admins to create composite tags in international languages – by merging 4 key words into 1 “ peace paz pace paix ( autocomplete will bring this composite tag for all those type one of the 4 words
but then the search are multilingual which may not be desired

Is there another way ?

Admins combining tags is actually a really good way.

I18n's multilingual taxonomy are a bust, in my opinion, in Drupal 5-- they look so much better in Drupal 6 that I've been looking into a backport.

Although for tagging purposes maybe they will work well.

Title: 8a and 8b multinlinguism in tags - search monolingual or plurilingual » Multinlinguism in tags (8a and 8b)

Needs more testing. It is very important for people searching for similar actions around the world.

Alternatives to chaining "water agua" etc. into one tag:

Admins can put additional languages in synonyms and I can (try to) make that work with autocomplete.

Admins can link additional languages as related terms, and I can (try to) make searches for a term also pull up related terms.

We went with semi-multilingual tags. Some combined, some left in one language, but in any case just one vocabulary without any built-in sense of translating terms.
