Translate selection #20

Closed jelmervdl closed 2 years ago

jelmervdl commented 2 years ago

What I need from this is to be able to select text and just have it translated in a tooltip (or whatever.) This is what I'm using the Simple Translate Firefox add-on for but unfortunately it sends data to Google. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31598074

I really like this idea. Especially useful for second languages, i.e. languages you can mostly read but sometimes need a bit of help. Might be tricky since users will probably select words, and our models are known to be bad at just translating words.
