OK, thanks for explaining this.

I agree -- or rather I am now persuaded that there isn't a consistent
and useful automatic translation behavior when the input method requires
the user to choose between a list of possible translations.

I have made and documented a small change to the code so that it throws
an error when it encounters a vector of multiple possible translations
rather than a single translation. This way the simple roman -> hiragana
translation still works, but the chinese-py example will throw an error.
