there seem to be several on the app store- but which one and why?- free or cheap not always wise.---I really liked the google toolbar translator extension it was really good for my use. simple few clicks and done not a lot of hassle....thanks
 
 
I use a Quick Action created with Automator

Code:
on run {input, parameters}
    set theText to (input as text)
    set theURL to "https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/"
    tell application "Safari"
        activate
        try
            tell window 1 to make new tab with properties {URL:theURL & theText}
        on error
            open location theURL
        end try
    end tell
    return input
end run

I think it has been pulled ...either by google or apple for catalina...that is the one I am trying to replace but thanx maybe I am wrong I hope I am --I liked it...oh your talking about the desktop version the one I was referring to ...I should have said so was the google translator extention for safari toolbars.......so toolbar was the key and extension.,..sorry for my misunderstanding
