How do you search your terms in online dictionaries? Copypasting them from your CAT into Chrome/Firefox/Edge etc.?
And what about doing it a bit more effectively?

I use QTranslate for free. https://quest-app.appspot.com/download
It replaces any selected text with MT translation in any CAT tool or text editor. Also, you can choose from endless list of XDXF dictionaries, dictate, listen, what else..., grab text from screenshots, autocorrect, etc. The most important for me is that you don't need to copy/paste and switch between windows to get translation.
