Nightly's translation of entire pages is good, but it would be useful to have additional functionality — translation of a selected section of text. Sometimes knowledge of a foreign language is sufficient to understand a page without translating the whole page, but sometimes there are fragments that I do not understand. Sometimes more difficult and rare phrases, sometimes inserts from yet another language. Selecting the fragment and appearing a quick translation option would help. Maybe I described it poorly, but the DeepL extension works just like that.

@Aliasvelalias thanks for the feedback! You should already be able to translate selected text from a page. Just highlight and right-click the text you want to translate, then select 'Translate selection to...' — a pop-up should then appear with the translation.

Hope this helps! If it's not working for you or if you have any questions, let me know.
