We can of course introduce a new table into core to handle this just for i18n, and it would be very simple to do:
CREATE TABLE translation ( nid1 int nid2 int );
The problem is that it is too domain specific and not really forward looking IMHO. We might just end up with this, but we might get further if we think ahead.
I don't see the addded value of doing this through a relationships API with a generic table. It would only safe 10 lines of code, and make things slower and harder to grok. Having simple, specialized tables (like the one above) is anything but a bad thing, IMO. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
