For single words, displaying other possible translations, and/or definitions about gtranslate HOT 8 CLOSED

Isn't the same as #16 ?

from gtranslate.

yes it seems there is overlap

Using this crude fix atm to show more translations:
\resources\gtranslate\lib\providers\google-translate.js at line 26

  const translation = (
    result[1] ? result[1].map(chunk => chunk[0] + ': ' + chunk[1].join(', ')).join('; ') : 
    result[0] && result[0].map(chunk => chunk[0]).join(' ')
  ) || null

The result is like noun: noun1, noun2; verb: verb1, verb2

For now alternative translations are implemented, but:
-should we show a sign in the non-mouseover text to show there is more in the mouseover?
-should we limit the amount of alternatives? How? The mouseover text can get quite large.
-The text column align didn't work as well as expected

@mote0230 I am just trying, that’s great!

-should we show a sign in the non-mouseover text to show there is more in the mouseover?

To indicate that we are in single word mode, maybe we could take the most popular one and display it directly in the menuitem:

maison (noun, synonyms: maison, chambre, famille…)

-should we limit the amount of alternatives? How? The mouseover text can get quite large.
-The text column align didn't work as well as expected

Yes tooltips are really limited to format text, and highly depend on the OS. Maybe we could limit the alternatives to 10 or something like that, and each alternative to 10 words max.

Looks like I'm not the only one who's "test word" is house ;)
For limiting to 10, map() doesn't support continue and break, so I think I would have to change it to use for loops, or do you know of a more functional style way to do this?

from gtranslate.

You could use sort() to order the results, then slice(). You may have to associate the groups (noun, adjective) with each result before doing that, depending on how the data is structured. I am also OK with a for loop (you can use for…of in Firefox).

Yes it’s from your example ;-)
