The name should be related to the original "intention" of the intent. Something like "share text with another application".
As everything is related to dict lookups and 3rd party apps we can dismiss "text/lookup" and "(with another) application" and just use "share", "send" and "process".

I'm open to suggestions. I will open a new issue on github and ping you there
@Pazos, I understand your motivation, but in my eyes you are too technical - what the average Koreader user knows about intents, sharing, picker etc.
I bet that even experienced programmers without Android experience would have problems.
Imagine user clicks on Dictionary settings to setup a dictonary, and would see the option "share text with another application": or even three options "share", "send" and "process", what would he think ?
Therefore I tried to formulate something which would at least roughly describe, what is to be expected

But this is only my opinion, I'd wait what you guys do with the git issue
