MetaTag for several language and synonym
Hi,
I'm a french user (new user), and work and tag in french and/or english.
I want to share librairies with other users.
One of us can use the tag "aircraft", and an other "avion" (french translation), but also "plane", "aeronef", or chinese words ...
If we need to use a same language for all our tags (english), it's restrictive for people who don't speak english
if not, it's harder to search and filter, because I need to search the name of the tag in different languages, and different synonyms.
Is possible to define a table of equivalent tags, as a synonym dictionnary, to, when I search the tag "aircraft", zotero search also "avion" (french translation)?
It can be see as a "metatag" with different translation and/or synonym: "aircraft, plane, airplane, avion, aeronef, ...." could be a MetaTag
Am I clear?

TemaTres

Support is primarily in the Portuguese language but there is an active support community. TemaTres is widely used as the thesaurus for bibliographic databases.
The SafetyLit Thesaurus page (a work in progress)
https://www.safetylit.org/thes/index.php
See also the advanced search page to search the SafetyLit database:
https://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.archivesearch
To search using the thesaurus (set up as a 'synonym ring') use the textword+synonym function. We are working on finalizing a hierarchical search system but that function is not yet fully available.

Here is an example from the EuroVoc multilingual theasurus (TemaTres-based)
