Thanks for the extension!

Are you planning on adding a “select some text → right click → Translate in a tooltip” feature? It'd be extremely useful for language learners.

Thanks to you for giving the extension a try! This is a very interesting feature, and I'd like to consider it. Would you mind filing an issue in the repo so we could track and discuss it here [1]?

Another user has posted a link to that issue: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/issues/358. I upvoted it instead of creating a new one.

+1. This was the first thing I tried to do and was surprised this feature doesn't exist. Most often, I don't encounter entire webpages in foreign languages, but rather small snippets of text.

It seems there is an open issue for this: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/issues/358

Hotkey + hover is very nice for words, fwiw.
