Adding this "properly" is more work than I currently can/want to invest, but I added a quick fix that glosses that are empty will be ignored. This way you can unselect them by using the edit-mode and leave the input field empty (resulting in |

PS: Better control if it works correctly the first few times, since I havn't tested it. |
Wow! Sorry, this is off-topic, but I just want to mention that I never realized the |
That is a good point! Especially the mouse-pointer and a hover-text should be added not only for this but for all buttons. I think I tried making it look more like a button but wasn't happy with it, but if you manage to make them not look like Windows 98 I'll happily merge it. |

The quick fix works OK so far. The only issue is that this requires three actions in order to get a gloss in one language ignored: click to open gloss editor, edit gloss, click to close editor. I had cases where the suggested text was appropriate only in one language but did not fit in multiple others. In such cases, I usually skipped — no fun to go through several dozens of actions in order to actually have two intended edits. |
E.g. in this example, I would have liked to exclude the rather unspecific Dutch gloss from the "It's a match" set. Since such filtering was not available and lexemes cannot be specified by the user yet (e.g. as per #33 ), I went for "Skip" (but then, the tool froze, as per #36).
It also seems to be common that some of the languages discuss different things, e.g. here, the Russian description is about military strategy, while the other languages are about strategy more general:
Also common are cases where the descriptions in some languages are about the lexeme at hand, but some are about disambiguation pages (don't have a screenshot at hand).
