This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's probably easier than your workaround of retyping the sentences into another computer!
I use NickelMenu and one of my custom menu items takes any word/words you have selected and opens the Kobo browser to Google Translate, with a translation of those words:
Code:
menu_item :selection :Google Translate :nickel_browser :modal:https://translate.google.com/?sl=ja&tl=en&text={1|S|%}&op=translate
In the middle of all that, the "ja" (in "...sl=ja&tl=en..") is the code for Japanese, which is the only language I ever use. If you're always dealing with one language (you mentioned French) then you can change that code to whatever the code is for French (probably fr). There's probably also a way to have Google auto-detect the language, and you can probably figure that out by going to Google Translate in your computer browser and trying different options. It might be as simple as leaving out the "sl=ja&" part, but I'm not sure.
Hope that helps, and just let me know if you have any questions.
