Add synonyms (esp. in latin) for FLOPO terms #3

Open leechuck opened 8 years ago

It would be very useful to add latin synonyms for FLOPO classes, even automatically using existing resources.

Just to add some detail. Up until 1 January 2012 all descriptions of new plant species required a Latin description. From 1 January 2012 either a Latin or English description is required. As species are described in many languages the Latin descriptions are invaluable for understanding the meaning of species concepts. Therefore, Latin translations of FLOPO terms would be extremely useful for the automated markup of these description.
