I'm looking for a simple application or tool that enables me to quickly translate a selected word (for example when reading a pdf or document).



I know there are several applications that offer translations but I'm rather looking for just a small tool that completely runs in the background and uses the notification system for a quick translation of a selected word when a certain hotkey is pressed.



Especially German - English, English - German would be great.



Thank you very much for your help!



Lots of greetings
