This is nice however, it will be wrong. This is very much based on dicologos. In Ultimate Wiktionary we do not have the concept of a lemma. As I have written in my blog (I will write more fully on this in Meta soon) there is a DefiningMeaning. This is what associates the MeaningText and the SynTrans. The key trick is that all true synonimes and translations should have the same definition text and the definition text in other languages should be ideally be literal translations.
