Hi! Thanks for your reply.

OmegaWiki is, if not exactly, astoundingly near what I was proposing.  It links 
words to meanings and automatically derives translations from that, which is 
the main feature I was looking for.  It also supports linking words with one 
another with different relationships like hypo- and hypernimic.  I wonder why 
it isn't more popular.

Thanks, this is interesting too, though this project doesn't seem to decouple 
meanings from words, so automatic translations don't work with it (as far as I 
could see from my short snoop-around.)

I'll stick to OmegaWiki and hopefully add my grain of salt to it.  Thanks for 
bringing that to the conversation!

Regards,
