Nice work! Translators use this kind of tool every day, known by them as concordance searching, where finding other uses of a term in context can give nuance and new word-choice options. I can see how this can be used in language learning but it really helps to know the multiple uses of any given word, and that assumes prior knowledge.
One way to incorporate this prior knowledge could be to add dictionary definitions to the search results. Is there a way to scrape or API the wiktionary? That might be one way to do it on the fly without the impossible task of building a dictionary.
- sayginburak 10y ago"Translators use this kind of tool every day," Can you name a few of them?
- luxpir 10y agoSure, it's actually a feature of the major tools, rather than a tool in itself (in most cases). Look up MemoQ, Trados and the newer EU project Matecat. Dozens more besides, take a look at the Wikipedia page for CAT tools [0]. -- [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-assisted_translation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-assisted_translation
