Steps to reproduce:

I often use machine translation to help me understand a difficult sentence in a web page in a language that I know. I don't need to translate the whole page, so I would like to use the Firefox private translations feature to translate just that one sentence.

Similarly, my Mastodon timeline contains posts in many different languages. Here again, I would like to use the Firefox private translations feature to translate a single post, rather than the whole page.

For these use cases, it would be helpful to have a menu option "translate selection" in the right-click menu.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Translation' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Additional to "right click -> translate selected text", a hotkey could be useful for quicker action.

Also, using a hotkey - would it be possible to translate a single word under the cursor? Then you don't even need to select it, which saves additional time.

Erik, let's use this bug to track the implementation.

Sounds good! I've got it bookmarked.

Thanks Tom S for the clean up. I'm sorry you had to do it, but I searched the same text I later used as the bug's subject ("Translate selected text") and for some reason it didn't find this bug.
