Hi all, Currently I'm implementing thesaurus entry (i.e. synonym list sub menu, see issue 51258) in right click context menu and stumbled upon a minor issue that I can't solve. Basically everything is already as it should be apart from this:
If a click on 'white' then 'black' is listed among the synonyms. That is, if the antonym is found early in the list of synonyms it will be displayed as well. This happens because the first entry for 'light' in the thesaurus dictionary looks like this: (adj)|albescent (similar term)|light (related term)|light-colored (related term)|black (antonym) since the explanation within in the parenthesis are all language depended, or more precisely dictionary dependend, I'm missing a working way to properly identify the antonym. Thus it seems this problem can't be fixed unless I get a complete list for the strings used for antonyms in each language where a thesaurus is available. And even that is a solution I do not particularly favor since it is likely to break sooner or later either because of new introduced languages or typos in the dictionary. Does anybody have other ideas to solve this? If not, it seems about the only thing we can do is to remember that a future thesaurus format (and maybe an extended API) need to take care of the problem by allowing for language independent identification of the antonyms.
