[Diary] Add Chrome right-click context menu for my online dictionary

(See the simplest way to add right-click menu to look up in customized dictionaries below - no need to code)

I want to add a right-click context menu in Chrome browser to search a selected word or phrase in my online dictionary, for example:

https://my.meonn.com/look.php?mylook=XXX
(This dictionary is for test only, not a practical one)

When I selected a word XXX in Chrome and right-click it, there will be an option to look up it in my online dictionary (URL above).

It's like 'Search Google for "XXX"' in this picture:

So I follow this tutorial Can I add right-click options in Google Chrome? to:
- Create a manifest file call "manifest.json"
- Create a html file call "yurica.html" (function script)
- Create icon files: "icon16.png" and "icon48.png"

"manifest.json"

Using Javascript to copy selected word in my online dictionary

I want some text or word selected in my online dictionary to be put in the look up input field and copied to clipboard in order to look up that new word or phrase, and to copy to my offline Trados termbase (using SDL MultiTerm).

Demo:

Input field:
Select and copy some text from here:

This is a paragraph to test using Javascript to select and copy some text or word to clipboard.

Just select some text above and it will be copied to the input field.

DEBUG: It didn't work at the first time. The reason is I put the script before my PHP engine generates my HTML content (using like "<?php print $html; ?>"). Browsers will read this Javascript before my dictionary HTML content so nothing happens. To solve this problem, I put this script at the end of my dictionary PHP file.

This is the picture of what happen (in case Javascript does not work in your environment):

My Javascript code (see below for the original tutorial):

Is there any way to look up a word in SDL MultiTerm Widget without retyping it? Especially a word on a website?

How to create a Project Package in Trados

Here's Trados SDL's guide to Create Project Package: Create Project Package Wizard.

Use the Create Project Package wizard to create project packages that contain all of the files that need to be sent to a project team member in order for them to commence work on the project. Project packages have an extension of *sdlppx.
To display this wizard, select Project > Create Project Package from the menu bar in any view or select files in the Files view, right-click and then select Create Project Package from the shortcut menu.

Picture:

Choose a project and click 'Create Project Package' icon in Home ribbon.

However, in Freelance license, this function is disabled:

Saying "Please upgrade your license to enable this feature".

I did search about licensing: About Editions and Licensing

Freelance
SDL Trados Studio 2009 Freelance is different from the Professional version in the following ways:
You can only work with five languages. You cannot change your language selections later.
You can use AutoSuggest dictionaries but you cannot create them.
NOTE
If you want to create AutoSuggest dictionaries, a separate AutoSuggest license enables you to do this.
You cannot use SDL Trados Studio 2009 Freelance on a computer that is part of a domain-based corporate network.
You can open and work with project packages but you cannot create them. You can create return packages to return your completed work.
You cannot create custom task sequences.

You must have a Professional license to create Project Packages.

By the way, price of SDL Trados Studio 2019 (Single User) at this momment is 2,495 Euros at SDL Trasos Store.

How to Create Return Package in Trados

Sometimes our clients send us Trados Project Package (***.sdlppx file) for we to translate, review or fix. We must send them a Return Package.

Here's how to create a return package (***.sdlrpx file) from a project package.

1. Double click project package file (.sdlppx file) to open as a project.
2. In the left panel click 'Projects' to show all current project.
Click to choose project package.
3. In Home ribbon, there's an icon called 'Create Return Package', click it and save return package file (.sdlrpx file).

Look like this:

Project package and return package files when saved in same folder:

The project package file (.sdlppx) has an icon of an open box and green arrow pointed inside.
The return package file (.sdlrpx) has an icon of a taped closed box.

How to install SDL MultiTerm Widget

How to download and using SDL MultiTerm Widget.

SDL MultiTerm Widget somehow disappeared from my PC when I re-installed or upgraded my SDL Studio 2017.

Here's Trados's guide to install and using SDL MultiTerm Widget with your Trados license for free.
Article: The SDL MultiTerm Widget and how to add custom search providers.

Search for SDL MultiTerm Widget at SDL AppStore: https://appstore.sdl.com/

Result: SDL MultiTerm Widget 2017 does not work with my SDL Studio 2017 (installed successfully but didn't start).

SDL MultiTerm Widget 2015 works fine:

How to download SDL MultiTerm Widget

The SDL MultiTerm Widget allows you to organize the vast number of terminology collections and search engines available on the internet and makes them available for you in one single place while you work. It is a desktop toolbar application that was developed to allow users who manage terminology to share this work across any medium.
In a nutshell the Widget provides features that enable everyone in your company to:
Look up terminology approved in MultiTerm termbase from within a browser, DTP tool, Microsoft Office applications, text editor and so on, without needing to have a complete terminology solution installed and without needing to know how to use one.
Look up words for their meaning or translation within predefined online dictionaries like Wikipedia or Leo.
Use more formal sources or online dictionaries from resources like IATE (InterActive Terminology for Europe) or Duden.
Go outside the world of terminology and plan your route using Google Maps, search for people on LinkedIn or look for a video on YouTube. The list is endless...
The Widget can be installed together with SDL MultiTerm 2011, but it is also available as a separate installer in the My Downloads area of your SDL Account area if you own SDL MultiTerm. You can also download it from the SDL OpenExchange.
The default Widget installer uses five predefined search providers:
SDL MultiTerm Widget (for MultiTerm Termbases)
Google
Bing
Linguee
Wikipedia

How to use SDL MultiTerm Widget

1. Install your SDL MultiTerm Widget and open it.
2. Click on the Configure button in the right upper corner
​3. Click on the Open Termbases button, find the termbase file *.sdltb on your machine (or server) and click OK
4. Configure your preferences.
5. Click on the Help button to open the online help pages for Setting up the SDL MultiTerm Widget.
6. When finished, click OK. You can use as many termbases as you like.
7. Once you have configured your settings, you are ready to use it. There are various options, depending on your personal preferences:
Select your word, for example download, and use your mouse shortcut (by default [Alt]+left button) or keyboard shortcut (by default [Ctrl+Alt+F8]):
You can also simply type in your search by calling up the Widget when needed
