That looks like just what I was thinking of (and yes, tagging could really do with multilingual functionality).
Devs - what are the prospects of OmegaWiki, or at least this bit of its functionality, going onto Commons? The thing really crippling Commons is bad search.
(Earlier today I floated the idea of using a template to hold tags, and a tag search on the toolserver that would read and index them every day, Not that I could write the latter. A bit kludgy too.)
