How we can improve SpanishDict.com

Question

How about adding to SpanishDict a whole new category/dictionary for idiomatic expressions (modismos)?

I have been at other language learning/translation sites (nciku.com for Mandarin as an example), and they often have a search category specifically of idioms.

Idioms can be regional, but there are many that every adept speaker of Spanish should know. Let me contribute the first one:

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. A donde fueras, haz lo que vieras.

¡Que tengas un buen viaje, pero recuerdas, donde fueras, haz lo que vieras!

If you Google "spanish idioms when in rome" you will come across the book, "The Everything Learning Spanish Book: Speak, Write, and Understand Basic" with the example above. I think we should enter as many Spanish-English idioms as possible.

Here's an interesting one unique to Spanish, "Pagar los azotes al verdugo". Got a good English equivalent for this one?
