popup translate
please check this chrome extention:TransOver. as an esl learner transover'S translate method is absolutly benefiticial.
i like to read the text in English language. but people like me often struggle with word's meaning.instead disturbing the reading process with looking at the extentional dictionary program or website, I feel really comfortable with instant popup on text. so that I can keep going to read without any disturbing concentration things. I am insist about that you should add transover's concept in to the translator for edge.

Translate image should be an option when right clicking on an image in a web page
When selecting text in Edge and right clicking, Translate text is added to the context menu. When right clicking on an image, Translate image should be added to the menu and trigger the image translation feature like that in the Microsoft Translator apps.
