Stuck when using translation
I use translation after selecting a lots of words, and it got stuck usually, please fix it.
Why I can’t search the translation immediately by pointing words?
Why I can’t search the translation immediately by pointing words? I mean, it’s a great progress that u offer a new version, but I can’t translate words by tapping on it now! It works when it was the previous version.
I prefer the original layout

Search bar and customised options
It’d be better if there’s a search bar and customised options in the app.
Searching bar? Searching icon ?
