Enumeration data type

Hello,

the problem is:

I need an enumeration table "Word" which is generalized by some other enumeration tables "WordInEnglish" and "WordInGerman":

"WordInEnglish" ---> "Word" <--- "WordInGerman"

----------------
| WordInEnglish |
----------------
| one |
| two |
| three |
----------------

-----------------
| WordInGerman |
-----------------
| ein |
| zwei |
| drei |
-----------------

Using such a manner I decided to resolve an user interface language problem.
Is it ok?
Probably this is not the one way to resolve an iteration value of different language. Please writte any suggestion apropos of such kind of a problem.

Thank you.

please, a few more details

what is "Word" in the middle of your diagram?

are you anticipating a relationship between "one" in english being related to more than "ein" in german?

das geht ja doch nicht
