I can find this type of clipboard translation functionality in proprietary tools (and I see "T-Window for Clipboard" is still a part of SDL Trados, excellent! Only if I had Trados for personal use 😄). For hobby use there wouldn't have to be any complicated algorithms for the fuzzy matching, I would think. Some sort of "edit distance" that sorts the suggestions from best to worst would suffice. 🤔

Haha, I would find implementing fuzzy algorithms only as a nice challenge! 😀👌
