That's a neat idea. It'll be super useful for 80% of the cases, where context is that important. But for the rest of the 20%, context of where the translation will be used, is as important as the word itself. So you cannot always reuse the same translation in different contexts, as it'll sound unnatural then.

Still, if there was a easy solution for being able to change between different options for the translation, having a shared open source translation database for projects to use, would be very valuable and useful.

The (surmountable) problem is tree-shaking so you only include the translations you use

If I can manage to store all the data from HN comments and submissions in 99 GB (31993925 "items", in a very naive way), we should be able to have a DB with most common translations for most web apps way below that, closer to 1GB, if some clever people do it :)

I'm talking about when I ship my frontend, needs to be super minimal for CI to handle. Might make sense to have packages / modules
