chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },

Wow. Thank you for sharing this on-device #translation #Firefox capability.
I see why you want this to be an option in #thunderbird! Personally I hope #SelfHosted translation comes to #openSource #messaging and #documentSharing platforms like #nextcloud too.
Side-by-side raw and translated words would be a neat option too.
