[Feature Request] Add search prefix to trigger translation #364

Translating directly in gnome search is a powerful option but many people could be concerned about every desktop search being sent to the translation provider.

It would be nice to have a keyword to trigger translation on the following text, as many launcher translation extensions do.

So for example, if we use tr prefix:

  • if I type just hello in the search bar nothing will be sent to the translation provider.
  • if I type tr hello then hello will be translated.

What are your thoughts on introducing this option?

I like the idea but maybe some would like the convenience of just typing the query, especially if they're using something like our LibreTranslate instance for example and not a proprietary solution. So it would probably have to be an option

@rafaelmardojai what do you think?
