1. Wouldn't it be more adequate to begin with finding the right

Yes, this is a new work flow with a disambiguator, rather than a
tagger,
choosing the right word and indirectly deciding part of speech.
(Rather
than the opposite).
Yes, that would be better, and if I get the GSoC project then I'll be
working to enable a flow like that.
Or alternatively:
Why alternatively? You can do both to even greater effect.
2. Why not collect all possible translation options and evaluate
them,
choosing the translation that seems most meaningful or fluent?
(Something like what's done in statistical translation by weighting
the
translations by the language model.)
GrammarSoft's GramTrans has experimented with that, and while it helps
for fringe phrases, it just can't come close to the result yielded from
someone who knows the language writing rules.
BTW I don't like the idea of using a constraint grammar. I hope
something more automatic could be invented.
Automatic and High Quality are somewhat opposites. If you want the
highest quality, you need to hand-write rules. Constraint Grammar and
other rule based systems are proven to lead to very high quality, but
it takes longer to develop.
