For one, tags would not be hierarchical and not stored under a name,
rather a number (an id if you will).
I would store the tag-i18n definitions in a separate Tag: namespace.
Then you don't need to create the history tracking

Another idea: Instead of inventing new syntax or pseudo-HTML tags, why
not use language links? On [[Tag:Flower]]

[[de:Blume]]
Because you want to avoid using a single syntax for multiple purposes

Hoi,
Typically I am happy with hacks but this is an exception. The terminology
used in the categories are not optimal. The use of plural, the use of latin
names for organisms.. It is better for people to add new tags because
otherwise they think it has to be like that.
Thank,

Hi guys,
So we're having the tags discussion again? Pops up every once in a
while. Tags is a step backwards compared to categories. With tags there
is a relation between an object (a photo) and a word. No way of telling
what the relation is, what language the tag is, no relations between
tags
Hi,
In fact, there are so many improvements to do:
- first IP should have their interface localised at any time, may be by cookies
or browser setting language, I know it's not easy and so one... (there is a bug
on bugzilla somewhere)
- allow categories to be localised, I know it's not obvious, I

in ontological structure - they already have the category tree. It's
for the casual user to type in a few words they're thinking of. Think

And why not work on metadata? If you have
