You know, that sounds a whole lot like a translation memory or
translation-document management app along the same lines as IBM's
Translation Manager or the TRADOS Translator's Workbench or Atril's
D?j? Vu or one or two others. I'm no lawyer, but I'd be take a good
long look at SmartWords if it could be made to work in this way
reasonably easily, especially if it supported double-byte character
sets (Japanese in particular).
