What’s a shortcut?

What’s an action?

There are two ways to display the translation suggestion: as a Notification or via the clipboard viewer.

The translation can be inserted in the Target Editor via CMD+V.

If I'm not mistaken, Apple Translate is free and can be used offline, for working at Vatnajökull or in Bialowieza.
