A possible way to do this is to create a new view subclass that simply
puts up a textview to fill its entire area.  The new view's Hit method
will pass on the mouse click to the subview (textview containing the
original text), then find out where the text cursor is in the subview,
then signal the other part of the application (which has the translated
text).  Shame keystrokes don't go through some similar mechanism.
