Context:
Sometimes the LingQ single sentence translation is not good, and I want to submit it to DeepL.
Problem:
there is no way to select the text and copy the it to the clipboard. That forces me to open the source text in the browser, locate the text to translate, select+copy it, and then paste it it DeepL.
The ideal solution would be to submit the text to another engine from the sentence view UI.
Yup this will be useful, I was looking for an easier way to do this long ago but gave up. A feature like this would help with sentence mining while reading too.
On the browser, when we drag select → right-click → copy sentence it loses the space between words. On the popup that appear you can drag-select → right-click → copy almost correctly but it is missing the last punctuation. The translation in sentence view seems to copy correctly though.
Alternatively, we can use DeepL desktop app or Windows sniping tool and use their screenshot OCR function, but some formatting issues are present.
A copy to clipboard function using a simple icon will make copying much easier, makes it into a single click.
I don’t have a current need for it but can imagine it would be useful. A shortcut could make it part of a macro to save to a spreadsheet.
Agreed! This would save a lot of time
