I am now in greece for 3 days. The EL-EN looks great but a nice thing to have 
around here would be a quick switch betwern capital letters and non-capital 
letters, because they are different and when looking for a certain word on a 
label it might be written with capitals or small leters, and the dictionare 
shows only one version...

I would change the DictionaryBuilder in how data is parsed.
If you save the phrases along with a 'stemmed version' of this phrase, 
dictionary lookup can become much easier.
With 'stemmed version', I mean not only putting every character in lowercase, 
but also bringing verbs to its stem, etc. http://snowball.tartarus.org/ shows 
some features how text in a given language can be reduced.
So whenever the user starts a query, the query phrase will also get stemmed (to 
lowercase, brought to its stem, ...)
