When you say 'add them' ...?
If someone wants medical jargon the wont necessarily want english/american
and much of it would remain the same irrespective of language.
So the medical word list should be a seperate hash from the English hash
or whatever.
You might be able to decode the word list pointed out in the links
earlier, but that is probably ethically dubious.
