Hi,

I am developing a dictionary application by using elasticsearch for  
querying. This dictionary application does not have only words, it may  
contain sentences that is why i decided to use elastic search for full text  
searching. My problem is data structure part. For example, user enters en  
-\> fr entry on my application like "yes" -\> "oui" . When another user  
searches for "oui" it should have result for "yes" . So should i send both  
"yes" -\> "oui" and "oui" -\> "yes" to elastic search for indexing? I am new  
on elasticsearch and sorry if i asked meanless question.

Thanks
