1. Search Google or Duckduckgo with specific prefix:
My native language is Portuguese, but everything I read is English. I find sometimes that the dictionary lack some unique words, but most of it they lack every expression that envolves 2 or more words. This is when I need google translate or similar to translate the 2 or 3 words, or the entire phrase.
Given this context, my request is that a new submenu is created with Google Translate or duckduckGo, with the specific prefix that could be setup in patch settings:
- In case of Google Translate, the settings would be the languages of with one wants to translate (from PT to EN, for example)
- In case of duckduckgo, we could use the !bangs, for example if you search duckduckgo with the prefix !enpt SOMETINHG, it then opens google translate and translates SOMETHING from English to Portuguse
2. Share to email
I dont use facebook, but many times I like to share phrases with my friends. This envolves a lot of work - highlight the phrase in kobo, then access with calibre, then share by email in the PC/mac
My request is to create a new entry in Share menu saying something like "email me", which sends the highlighted test to the email address that may be setup in patch settings.
Thanks in advance. I hope that I'm not repeating any previous request. I've searched for "share" and "search" in this thread and found noting related to what i'm requesting.

The search engine change seems simple enough, but I'll need to look into the details.
The email one will not be possible as a patch, but it can probably be made as a combo between a patch and a mod. The mod would run a local web server which can send emails, and then I would make a patch to use it's url when sharing. Although I can, I have no personal interest in this patch, so I won't be making this unless someone else does.
