There is the problem that keys are actually words existing in natural language. The same time they may only mean a looser or stricter meaning of the word.

For example there is no key for Hungarian cukrászda, which is not confetery, but the key used for such objects. Shall I create a new key? Maybe I should.

Does café mean something which works like a café (in England?) or something which is CALLED a café locally?

Conflict is inevitable.
