Translate or act on selected text

Keep native selection while optionally using Ratdolt actions for reading, search, speech, translation and sharing.

01

Selection actions

The optional selection toolbar can highlight, open the passage as a focused Reader, listen, search Google, translate, prepare a social post, invoke Web Share or copy a source-credited excerpt. Composer and local PDF both link to the same anchored Highlight Settings section. Hiding Ratdolt actions does not disable native browser selection.

  1. Select text in Composer or a local PDF.
  2. Choose one action from the compact toolbar, or choose Settings.
  3. Close the toolbar or clear selection when finished.
02

Browser translation

Choose from 162 catalogued languages for a whole document, word or longer passage. Ratdolt asks the browser about a language pair only after an explicit action, keeps the original, and offers an external fallback when the pair is unavailable.
