Extension
https://www.raycast.com/gebeto/translate
Raycast Version
v0.38.1.0

Description
The three commands: Instant translate view/copy/paste always returns "No text selected. Please select text to translate."
Tested in different programs and editable/non-edotable text.
Steps To Reproduce

- start Raycast
- type in the Instant translate command (text in the background application still highlighted, Raycast has focus)
- Raycast window closes, focus switches to other application, error pops up
Current Behaviour
No response
Expected Behaviour
The highlighted text should be copied and translated.

Research direction
Start by locating the Google Translate extension and its three Instant translate view/copy/paste commands, then reproduce the failure with selected text in another application on the reported versions. Done means each command recognizes the highlighted text, copies it as needed, and translates it instead of reporting that no text is selected.
