Agreed, recipes often need localisation. The language itself agnostic to ingredients and doesn't provide any database. It's up to a user to tag ingredients so tools can recognise them and use in different ways.

It's very easy to update a recipe file in a text format, so there shouldn't be an issue to quickly change names in a recipe you get from your friend overseas.
