New Confirming Method

Walking home from the gym yesterday, I had a brainwave - users
shouldn't need to use a special window to confirm which translations
are correct - they can use a pop up directly from the main window to
quickly clarify which definition they want added to the word. This
way words that they don't particularly NEED the definitions for right
then can be just left. Those which are unambiguous are added
automatically.

I think this system is more heuristic in that it allows the user to
confirm definitions when it suits them, even if the process is
incomplete. The option to clarify will always be there, but the user
can choose to ignore it.

I drew some sketches in my notebook as I had my coffee at Phillippa's
to illustrate my point.
