Considering the bit about different European languages, it seems really strange that words would become links to applications. Sending instructions on how to do something from your home in <latin character set country> to your Russian aunt? Better know the Cyrillic version of what you want to launch.
Snark aside, there are some interesting aspects to that; I really like the idea of simple launcher lists, even if it means you have to know the names of everything you want to launch. I teach some kids with dyslexia and I can imagine trying to do this in a classroom environment.
