In the DeepL apps available for window and mac, you can easily translate with ctrl-c ctrl-c. I would like to get something similar on linux.
Please check your google chrome version.

Press the + button to add a shortcut as shown in the following image.
If you want to use the server's desktop shortcut,
python create_desktop_shortcut.py
click desktop shortcut and then the browser starts up.
or in the terminal
clip_translate_s
If you cannot launch with the shortcut, right-click the icon and select "Allow Launch".
After launching browser you can translate the text by pressing the shortcut key (ctrl-alt-c) after copying (ctrl-c).

This is not visible when launched from the desktop icon. You can kill the process on the port being used by running
