Feature request: PowerToys run plugin to get word translations

[TROLlox78]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I have never written nor seen what a request like this is supposed to look like. sorry in advance
I would like the ability to quickly see the translation of a word, say from german to English, by using PowerToys run. Example alt+space and type in 'frau' and PowerToys gives a result showing: 'translation from german: woman' You would be able to set the language you want the translations to to be looked up for.
I don't think this would be hard to integrate, there definitely has to be some dictionary website offering an API to use for this case. I don't know how does it work for programs like this one, a lot of apis require you to generate a key, maybe downloading some dictionary of the language you're interested in is a better option.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be good for beginner to intermediate level speakers of a language they are learning. It would allow them to quickly check what a word means without breaking their flow of reading.

Example would be: You're reading something in a language you're studying, you don't know a word, you alt+space and type it into run and it gives you a translation or definition. 'Katze means Cat in english, a common pet animal'

There are probably extensions for web browsers that give quick word translations but using PowerToys would work universally across any program, not just in the browser.

Yes indeed. I found a small script on Wiktionary that can be saved as a bookmark. If there is text selected - and you click the bookmark - it immediately searches for the word(s). If no text selected yet, it opens a small pop-up window to type in.

javascript:(function()
 {function se(d) {
    return d.selection ?%20d.selection.createRange().text%20:%20d.getSelection()}%20s%20=%20se(document);%20for%20(i=0;%20i%3Cframes.length%20&&%20!s;%20i++)%20s%20=%20se(frames[i].document);%20if%20(!s%20||%20s==%27%27)%20s%20=%20prompt(%27Enter%20search%20terms%20for%20Wiktionary%27,%27%27);%20open(%27https://en.wiktionary.org%27%20+%20(s%20?%20%27/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=%27%20+%20encodeURIComponent(s)%20:%20%27%27)).focus();
 })();

Hm, your issue is very elaborate, but also a duplicate of issue #9095. Somebody just created a pull request for the translation, and I'll link it (and this) to the other issue. Thanks for your input though.
