Select text to translate

On a supported webpage, select a word or short phrase you want to understand. Stickly waits for a deliberate translation signal, so ordinary highlighting does not need to open a bubble.

After selecting the text, use the Stickly translate action, keyboard shortcut, or browser context-menu command available in your setup. The translation bubble opens close to the selection so you can read without leaving the page.

Selection translation is separate from remembered-word highlights. You can ask for a translation when you need one without turning on automatic marks across the page.

Editable fields, PDF viewers, protected application surfaces, and browser-owned pages may not expose the same selection action. Try a short selection in an ordinary article, then see “Translation did not appear” if the bubble still does not open.
