I'm wondering what you want to achieve by writing down all the translations. Apart from a few cases, you're not going to be able to remember them (when, for example, they're drastically different - or maybe if they're instead very similar). In my experience, a lot of the times at best a couple of the senses gets used in everyday speech, and even then one of them will be pronominal (used with "sich"), or something like that... I mean, in Polish, I've gotten away with writing a single definition for every word (although as I've mentioned I don't write down definitions, but if we translate that to my method...), because it's the only definition I've ever encountered in the wild.
