Understand. That might bring us to "toolinfo" again. The solution that Yves
mentioned at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Oct/0035.html
would allow you to create identifiers for this complex type of information.

Understand - the question mainly is: what needs to be standardized, and
what could be a URI to that complex information.

"Translate" in fact is very general and doesn't distinguish between 1) and
2). E.g. IIRC, in Okapi it is used also to create pseudo translated text.
