German to English 
 schon => already 
 schön => nice 

2 totally different words. 

I am talking about similar word where you are talking about different word.
I don't mind if someone can search cross languages. Some Chinese search
enginee can do chinese search using engish keyword (for people having
chinese viewer but not chinese input method.) Of course, no one expect
regex engine should do that.

The "re`sume`" do appear in English sentence. The "[half|full] width letter"
are in the same language.
