Hi all,
I want to translate a word from english to french.
Easy to do with the Tap and Hold menu.
I associate to the button Translate this command text :
https://translate.google.com/#auto/fr/{text}

But, problem. No automatic translation.
When I tap and hold a selected world, my command opens the google translate web page, but doesn't paste the selected word. The text box for it stays empty. And I have to paste the word again in the web page and click translate to obtain a french translation.

My url scheme seems good.
So, what is wrong ?
