Many users struggle to translate words quickly while working on their Macs, leading to interruptions and loss of focus. A simple translation tool that allows instant word translation with a hotkey could significantly enhance productivity. This tool could be monetized via a subscription model or one-time payment.

The smallest version could just support popular languages and use a basic dictionary API. The biggest risk is competition from existing translation apps that might offer similar features for free or at a lower price point.
