Re: [dxwg] Drop the range of dcat:keyword (#1585)

@l00mi I think you are considering to overengineer the keywords. 
If you are planning to have words in multiple languages and they should match then you are entering in a high editorial effort.

If this is a fixed list, well established it is better to stay in the category area (with a codelist in which you provide controlled translations). (subproperties of dct:subject).

If it are keywords (i.e. random words that publishers like to attach to their catalogued resources) then an autotranslation service for that purpose is very usefull. 
Your objective:  "trying to maintain random words with a structured mapping to another language"  is very resource intensive: you ask a lot from either the publisher (to translate each term being used) either from another team to ensure to coherency.  
I would take the route for autotranslation and allow users to enter any term/word in any language. 
Your elastic search engine will then perform then in each language in a very similar way (yet possibly rank the answers differently).
