Just wondering how to do translation, since the French-supplied data for table 
IAM_DENOMINATION has 1129 records, of which 1128 are distinct French INNs.

Even if we would be able to get ATCs for these French INNs (whether from a file 
or by scraping the WHO lookup site if it allows) , there is also the table 
IAM_IMPORT which has 510 distinct TEXT_CAT records and 771 distinct TEXT_IAM 
records and I am wondering about us setting that up in Launchpad to facilitate 
multilingual translation?
