Multilanguage tags, as well as synonyms, could simply be implemented as #REDIRECTs, maybe. [[Tag:Blume]] would redirect to [[Tag:Flower]], so a search for "Blume" would know about "Flower" easily. However, the system would then have to search for both Blume and Flower internally. Also, that could be a problem with "false friends" (en:Gift=present vs. de:Gift=poison).
Or force the user to select a language when entering the tag. This means though that we either need a pre-save transform to transform [[Tag:en/flower]] and [[Tag:de/Blume]] to their canonical [[Tag:flower]] and reject tags without language specified, or we need to have tags entered separately from the page text. But then run into the history problem again.
