I think we need to refer to the Unix philosophy, each program does one thing well. Make an English to English translation tool. I once had an English student use the word "aubergine". I had never heard the word aubergine before so I corrected him, "no, that's an eggplant." A North-American-English vs European-English war broke out. Lorries crashed into 18-wheelers, rubbish bins and trash cans caught on fire, friends and mates turned against each other. When the dust settled those who remained wanted to pay their respects to the fallen; some people lined up, other people queued.
