Replace original text with translation

[Silex]

Hello,

How do I:

• Select a region
• Call M-x google-translate-at-point and have the translation automatically replace the region

Hello,

It would be nice to provide another option alongside current-buffer to google-translate-output-destination to replace the text as well.

Here is my shiv for this issue:

(defun fn/google-translate-at-point ()
      "Translate at point while replacing the text."
      (interactive)
      (when (region-active-p)
        (let ((beginning (region-beginning))
              (end (region-end))
              (google-translate-output-destination 'current-buffer))
          (google-translate-at-point)
          (kill-region beginning end))))

I would definitely love to have this too!
How I imagine it, you should be able to first select the desired translation by pressing the corresponding number though.

I'm using the popup option because I like it visually, but for very long words it is annoying that the translation disappears as soon as you press a button. A replace function would be very useful.

This is interesting, I have saw similar feature request now. I will consider to add an interactive way to select multiple output targets. Might implement with #79
