[Taxacom] Language tags for scientific names

[Thomas Lammers]

And of course, though they are treated grammatically as Latin, MANY scientific names come from other languages, most notably Greek.  What will an autotranslator make of the Hawaiian words I have used as nouns in apposition as specific epithets if you tag, e.g., Cyanea pohaku or Cyanea kuhihewa as "Latin"??

I suggest a new tag: "sci".
