+# Specification: Translation Dictionary for Living Christianity
+
+## Overview
+
+"Sanasto Wiki" is a web-based dictionary application for simultaneous translators in the living Christianity. The application provides publicly accessible translations while restricting editing and commenting to invited contributors.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Supported languages
+We currently support the following languages:
+* Finnish
+* English
+* Swedish
+* Norwegian
+* Russian
+* German
+
+### Entry
+An entry represents a translatable unit which may be:
+
+- `word` — Single word
+- `phrase` — Multi-word expression or idiom, sentence
+- `name` — Person's name (for consistent transliteration)
+- `title` — Book, publication, or hymn title
+- `reference` — Biblical or doctrinal term
+- `other` — Any other translatable text unit
+
+Each entry has translations in multiple languages.
+
+### Suggested Meaning
+When translators disagree on a translation or want to suggest alternatives (regional variations, contextual meanings, etc.), they can submit a suggested meaning for community review.
+
+## Technical Stack
+
+* Framework: Rails 8
+* Database: SQLite with FTS5
+* Authentication: Rails 8 built-in authentication
+* Authorization: Invitation-only for contributors
+* Deployment: Kamal
