Mobi dictionaries with inflection

I am interested in making two dictionaries, one Latin-English and one French-English.

There are a few issues:
1. How can I generate inflection indices? Both Latin and French are highly inflected languages and a dictionary which does not support inflection is pretty much useless.
2. How can I deal with contractions in French. For example, it should understand that l'hôtel begins with h instead of l.
3. How can I include macrons for Latin? I'd like to have amāre instead of amare.
