iOS: Translate and Search words from text selection context menu

Hello, I’m new to Paperpile.

I use this app on Windows and iPad (iOS). When selecting text from the PDF Viewer in the iPad app, only Copy, Text Highlight, Underline, and Strikethrough operations are available from the context menu, making it difficult to easily translate or search for the selected text. This makes it difficult to easily translate or search for the selected text.
On a Windows PC, these operations can be easily performed in combination with other apps, but on an iPad, it is a bit more time-consuming.

I would like to see translation and search added to the context menu to make it easier to use.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum @ras0q and thank you for your feedback on the mobile app! You can search for text within the PDF by clicking on the magnifying glass icon in the toolbar. We don’t currently have plans for adding translation and language functions within the app but I’ve added your +1 for this request to our internal feature tracker for consideration in the future.

@suzanne Thank you for your reply!
I meant web search for selected words, not search within papers.
I look forward to this being implemented as much as anyone else!
