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.
