Translate Addon highlight to translate

The new translate addon is really cool. I would like to see a feature for translating a highlighted word or phrase.

Flow: highlight word/phrase > right click > select "Translate '<word/phrase>'"

I think the simplest way to do this would be to copy the highlighted text into the popup window of the extension.

I have a PR up for this feature here: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/pull/615/commits/d5a7f8a78a5749448c79b89894ab66c241a...

It will ship in the next version, hopefully by January.

Firefox Translations translate selected text

Hello,

It would be nice to be able to select some text and just right click and translate it. Not the entire website just some text. It seems like a pretty basic and easy feature.

Android is supported in the last version, and can be installed through a collection.

@JeppieIt seems you are still using version 1.2.0, while Android support was introduced on 1.3.2, which is the latest version available on AMO. Please try to update it and let us know how it goes.

 @Andre_Natal i couldn't find a update button so i reinstalled it and now it works. I have some extra questions first why do i have 2 firefox-translations add-ons?(look at previous picture). Second do you know if there is a date when Japanese is getting added. Third is firefox-translations coming to firefox focus?
