Improved UI for the translations on selected text

[Pandorino]

I think that the UI of the translation tool should be improved for 2 reasons:

1. The repetition of the text I just selected is useless, I can see what I selected. The repeated text could be removed and the dropdowns for the chosen languages (translate from and translate to) could be placed inline at the top, like in the translation panel's UI
2. The language selection list is overwhelmingly tall.

The entire UI of Vivaldi seems like a hacked together solution for friends rather than a well designed commercial product. I'm a follower of Jon, and have been using Opera, Vivaldi for almost 20 years. Has been hoping for Vivaldi's UI to change for a long time. It just doesn't.

@chenyf I share your thoughts.

I understand that the team must be smaller than Opera's and other browser companies, but a coherent and modern UI would indeed be much appreciated.
As a UX professional myself, I honestly think that the decisions about UI and UX might have been left to the developing teams rather than being always supervised by a designer.

Hi, vote for the request with the like button if you want to support it.
It is the only way for us users to get attention from the Vivaldi team.
Mircrosoft hired the best GUI designer to create Windows Vista, remember the result.

@Pandorino This seems like a duplicate of Oversize Popup Translator Needs Better Accessibility.

In my case, I see a scrollbar on the list of languages.

Translator: List of “favourite” languages in the top of the language list would make it quicker to select source and target languages.

I don’t think the list is too long (I use a 1200x1600 portrait monitor).

@mib2berlin eheh you're right on Win Vista

[Pandorino]

@Pesala the difference in in the operative system. I'm using MacOs and the drop-down selections appear in this way, no scrollbar and uses the whole screen height.

Windows is doing a better job confining it and using a scrollbar.

Thanks for spotting the duplicate
