With the following script you can translate small sentences and words using a keyboard shortcut!

start via shortcut
or via Terminal
enter text
notification with translation
clipboard with translation

The following packages are needed

Menu: rofi, rofi-dmenu
Notifications: libnotify
Translation: translate-shell
Clipboard: xclip

Install dependencies

sudo pacman -S rofi rofi-dmenu libnotify translate-shell xclip

Install script

#!/bin/sh
# translates text from rofi prompt to clipboard and creates a notfication

notify-send -t 5000 "Translation" "$(trans -b "$(rofi -dmenu -p translate &)" | tr -d '\n' | xclip -sel clip -f)"

If you see something in the script that can be improved, feel free to write a comment :)
