Can you display this kind of info in some user-defined format in the 
output (like the printed dictionary)?  e.g.

    trunk ... 3. (British) rear compartment in an automobile

where the user defines the formatting, e.g. parens around the dialect 
tag (as above), or maybe italics; and of course the user decides where 
this information goes in the output, like in this case between the sense 
number (which I'm assuming is automatically generated in TshwaneLex) and 
the sense itself.

If there were multiple tags, you might want some separating punctuation, 
like ', ':

    trunk ... 3. (British, Australian) rear compartment in
    an automobile

I.e. can the user edit the configuration files? (perhaps as in 
applications like Endnote)
