Mac Services Translation

macOS Services are useful when you already expect text actions to live inside the system menu.

Dictionary supports this system action so lookup and translation can fit into established Mac habits with fewer separate windows.

Why use Services

• You prefer native macOS text actions
• You want a system-level path from many apps
• You do not want to keep a separate translator window open

Services are one available action among several. Hover, selection, shortcuts, and OCR capture are better for other moments.
