Feature Request: Show all possible translations for single words #284

Description

@oblominsk

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.
