I think this nails down the problem. I will have to rethink my approach. I was 
hoping to be able to resort to other solutions than what one would do with 
"databases" normally, examples here:

<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5534681/how-to-represent-a-localized-string-type-in-core-data>
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2689570/good-practices-for-multiple-language-data-in-core-data>

(I just glanced through them briefly, btw.)

Anyway, I will post my solution, if any ;)

Thanks again,
- Ray.
