Hello @fpz !

Sorry for such a long delay. It was hard to find spare time and feature have taken some time to implement.

I just pushed, let's say, beta version of the feature. Currently it is in the inline-editing branch. If you would like you can try it, test, leave feedbacks, what you like, what not, how it could be better for you etc. Well, it will be much appreciated if you'll try it and tell how it is for you.

But anyway, in other case, I'm going to finish it during next several days (probably we will have the final version next week).

By default inline editing is disabled, you need to enable it by means of:

(setq google-translate-inline-editing t)

or

M-x customize-variable RET google-translate-inline-editing RET

Then you can translate and edit source text in the *Google Translate* buffer, then press C-c C-c to translate updated text. To change the language pair you need the following key bindings:

C-c C-s for the source language
and
C-c C-t for the target language.

You can swap the language pair by means of C-c C-r key binding.

I didn't use C-n/C-p because these key bindings by default are for the navigation within a buffer. But if you need you can always change any key bindings accordingly to your preference.

Best regards,
Andrey

P. S. Thank you for the Feature Request!
