OmegaT - multiplatform CAT tool / Feature Requests / #1493 Include source terms in right-click glossary match list

JDR - 2020-12-21

This might be a problem specific to Japanese, but I often find that not all possible glossary entries are listed when I simply hover over a term, whereas more terms are listed if I do a right-click. However, as the source term isn't listed with a right click, it can be difficult to know which exact source term is being referenced for each option.

For example, the four characters 支援装置 appear six times in various combinations in my glossary.

支援装置 assistance device 支援装置 support device 支援 assist 支援 support 装置 device 装置 apparatus

However, if I hover anywhere over the four characters, only the first two target terms are displayed, as follows:

支援装置 = assistance device, support device

If I right-click, I get the following list of options if I click within the first two characters:

assistance device support device assist support

or the following list if I click within the last two characters:

assistance device support device device apparatus

There are therefore two enhancements I would like.

Firstly, when hovering above a term, I would like to see all the possible target terms for the term I am currently hovering over, not just the longest one.

Secondly, when I right-click, I would like to see the source terms listed as well as the target terms.

  Thank you for the update. I will check as soon as I have some spare time,
  probably later this week, and will report back.

  We've a number of glossary improvements in the recent code. Would you mind
  checking the nightly build to see if they address your requests?

  When the cursor is hovering over an underlined term in the editor, the
  source term appears followed by matching glossary entries.
  A right-click on the source term brings up a list of matching glossary
  entries that can be selected for insertion. However the corresponding
  source terms are not shown.
  It would be useful to have the option of including the source terms in the
  right-click list that appears.

I have tried using the most recent nightly build (OmegaT 5.8.0 beta downloaded on 1st March 2023), but unfortunately can't get it to run properly.
I opened OT and loaded a recent project from 5.7.1. Although OT opens OK and loads the project, it appears to be continuously accessing the hard disk, and even after around 15 minutes was still unresponsive, so I had to give up.
From a very brief window of opportunity when I could actually click on a term, I don't think the change I have requested has been made yet, but I can't be sure.

  The screenshot shows the source term in the glossary hint.

    Thanks JC
    
    The issue is that if I hover, I get a source term, but only one of several
    possible source terms. If I right-click on a term, I get a list of all the
    possibilities but no source term.
    This matters in Japanese, as there are no spaces between words so there can
    be different possible translations depending on how many characters are
    being selected.
    It would be better if the source term could also be included in the
    right-click list.
    My explanation in the Feature Request shows an example of what I mean in
    more detail.
    
    Thanks.

@miurahr9 it looks like an open-fixed item. Can you confirm?

I have managed to make a solution for this that works for me.

In \src\org\omegat\gui\glossary\TransTipsPopup.java
I have changed line 79 from

JMenuItem it = pager.add(new JMenuItem(s));

to

JMenuItem it = pager.add(new JMenuItem(ge.getSrcText()+" = "+s));

This achieves what I want, i.e. including the source term in the right-click context menu, as per the attached screenshot.
I realise that others may not want this, so having it as an option would be great.
