It would be great to have a larger preview for the currently selected suggestion.

I'll look into this but I'm not sure if there is a way of multiline results in Alfred. Have to dig through the Alfred docs ... on a first glance I haven't found anything.

The built-in clipboard history of Alfred has a good solution for this:

Good hint. Thanks!

Unfortunately I didn't find a way to use the "spilt panel" feature which the build-in clipboard history uses. But I made a workaround, now you can use [cmd]+[enter] to show selected item as screen overlay, [esc] brings you back to the selection list. If you just hit [enter]_ you'll copy the translated text of selected item to the clipboard.
