Suggestion: show Google Translate translation of text

[Former user]

When the text is in a language I can't read, I paste it into another window I keep open on Google Translate. With "Detect Language" on it usually correctly detects the language and shows me an English translation. From that I can work out the gender of the person or the person-ness of the entity.

If you automatically included the Google Translate English version, it would save the step. For bonus points, you could have a setting with the target language for the translations.

No more free Google translate API: https://developers.google.com/translate/v2/pricing

translatewiki.net used to have Google translate, and when their free API was discontinued, they eventually switched to Microsoft's and Yandex's. It could be worth looking into those. @Nikerabbit, any insights on this?

Yandex is down most of the time or all the time for us (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50861 ), Microsoft may be more generous (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41435 ). As a workaround, Chromium/Chrome is able to translate without limits.
