Quote:// script "Translate UI element text.cs" /// Gets UI element text and translates with Google Cloud Translation API. Displays the result as a tooltip.
/// Edit the langTo string. Optionally edit langFrom.
/// By default gets text of UI element from mouse (uses elm functions). If script command line contains "copy", gets the selected text (uses the clipboard).
/// Hotkey trigger example: hk["F4"] = o => script.run(@"Translate UI element text.cs");
/// Hotkey trigger example for translating the selected text: hk["Ctrl+F4"] = o => script.run(@"Translate UI element text.cs", "copy");
/// Bad: Uses a Google translation service URL that is undocumented and may stop working in the future. Good: don't need authentication, API key.
/// If the used URL will stop working or does not work well, try the official API instead. Also there are libraries.
/// Not tested: max allowed text length. It is passed in URL. The script does not limit the text. Not tested: try POST request instead of GET.

How to improve the above code
Use a hotkey to implement the above two functions
e.g:
window: Limited to QM3 only
Hotkey: Press the ctrl key twice in a row
then: If there is selected text under the mouse pointer, the selected text is translated, otherwise the text of the control is translated
