It would be much more difficult to translate free text in this way. Hmm... you are thinking of a multilingual report in a way that one genealogist would generate reports several reports, each in different language? If so, this is a good point, and I didn't consider this before. My argument for 'free text' is/was that the user himself types in the right word, in his own language, and thus no translation is even required anymore. Of course this hinders changing the language afterwards.
