Description
When translating a single word, both Google Translate and Yandex Translate always display all possible variants — not just one. This is extremely useful for:
✅ Deep language learning — seeing multiple meanings helps understand nuance and context.
✅ Cultural immersion — one word can open doors to idioms, metaphors, and cultural layers.
✅ Better study experience — learners can compare synonyms, register (formal/informal), and usage.
✅ Consistency with major translators — Google & Yandex already provide this functionality.
✅ Practical benefit in MouseTooltipTranslator — users get richer results without leaving the app.
🔎 Examples of polysemous Russian words
Мир | Universe, society, peace | world, peace, society, universe
Лук | Vegetable, weapon | onion, bow
Ключ | Tool, source, solution | key, mountain spring, clue (this word is taken for the Russian equivalent)
Свет | Illumination, world, society | light, world, society
Ручка | Object, part, instrument | pen, handle, Knob, Strap/Holder , 💃Lady’s/👶Child’s/🖐️Little/🧸Baby hand
Язык | Organ, speech, system | tongue, language
Корень | Part of plant, basis of word, cause | root, basis, cause
Стол | Furniture, Meal / feast , institution | table, desk, board, Сounter
Instead of showing only one translation, the tooltip should list all variants, just like Google Translate and Yandex Translate do.
👉 This feature would make MouseTooltipTranslator not only a quick helper, but also a tool for deeper language study and cultural exploration.
