Google Translate

When reading resources that contain information in other languages (such as German), it would be handy to be able to right-click on the text and select "Translate into English" (or the user interface's default language) and take users to Google Translate with the text pre-filled and translated. Even better, building the window inside Logos (like it was done with Wikipedia) would make it even more handy.

Thanks!

    LOVE the overall idea. Would only add that after the translation into one's language of choice, there should be a drop down list to see it translated in other languages as well. Might be useful if someone needed to go back and forth between Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, etc.

    Absolutely. Also pretty much having the Google Translate interface inside a Logos window would work great for me. Basically just a "more integrated" way of using Google Translate without having to resort to going to the browser.

    Having it in the mobile app somehow would be nice as well since I do a LOT of reading on my iPad, and reading Theology books with German and Latin embedded gets a little cumbersome. :-)
