    Can you please clarify the use case? Not sure i understand what you want to achieve.

    Case of use is educational, Many times I check the words in a dictionary during the reading some article on the web and many times I note I already checked these words. So I would like to save somewhere these words and keep this data for review later. Basic idea is to save data in local storage then I want to use JS generates an HTML file which I can print and use to memorize these words

    Old version of SelectionSK had functionality that you are probably looking for. There were possible to store selected text or translation to the text file. Local storage has space limitations and require additional permission for go over the limit, so it maybe not the best choice (plus, most of the users do not have an idea of local storage, while text file on HD is understandable for everybody). Will add this ability to the next version.

    Right now it is possible to copy translation, there is a special button for that on translation window, but it will not copy original text. I’ll add it to the next version.

    WebExtensions have stronger security rules, so save to local file will require user confirmation for load data and ane more confirmation for store updated data back. Not a good solution from UI point of view.

    Probably the best solution is integration with some online service like Google Notes and store data there. Or use Pocket (but it is for FF only).

    I know is not easy to implement this kind of functionality we are talking about but can you add possibility to copy word which I sending to Google translate ? when i use a button copy to clipboard in my clipboard is only translation without orginal word I sent to google translate. I didnt find this option in the exension settings

    That is already implemented, but in a slightly different way - copy button will copy both, original text and translation. Will be released soon.

    Copy to Google drive seems interesting feature, but require a lot of work. Will slowly work on it.
