That's right, and that is also my point of view about confusing games. But I
see an issue here : if a move already exists in several variations, the
first encountered is entered into. Maybe in that case it would be better to
fallback to the display of the variation window (or something like that) to
make sure the user will not enter a specific line when he wanted to enter
another one.
So what others think about this : when the user enters a move, if the move
already exists in the main line or in a variation, the move is not
duplicated but we simply move forward (no need to display the dialog box
asking for adding a variation, a main line, etc.) ? Personaly I find it the
best thing to do.

If your question is how to translate moves it is easily done with ::trans
and ::untrans calls (defined in language.tcl).
