Mac Services Translation

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

Dictionary supports this style of entry so lookup and translation can fit into established Mac habits instead of forcing every action through one window.

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 entry point among several. Hover, selection, shortcuts, and OCR capture are better for other moments.
