Translate the selected text #272

Closed linsui closed 2 years ago

Crow Translate provide a D-Bus API so that I can select some text and translate it with a shortcut. I can use the command line interface of dialect but it does not bring dialect to foreground. Is there a similiar function in dialect? Thanks!

Duplicated of #207.

About this, running Dialect with it's command line parameters should launch the app. So if this is not happening please report another bug with this info.

The app is running but it can't get the focus. I'll get a notification that the dialect is ready.
