"If you want, you can change this or even switch it in the Popular Meanings list."

Yes we can and do this - unfortunately this process is rather (painfully) slow for someone who regularly uses 2 languages (e.g. mother tongue + English). Not only is it slow but this is something that comes up very frequently and thus can noticeably slow down the language acquisition process.

Some improvements for this issue (e.g. keyboard shortcuts) should be rather easy to implement. I understand that the LingQ team likely needs to prioritize requests - yet I wonder whether this problem is even on your list for future improvements.

I am proposing that when you click on a word the translation lists of two languages come up, so that people who are learning multiple languages or want to make multiple connections to different languages can do so without the added manual step
