Sending image to Kagi Translate via built-in Android sharing

It would be nice to allow translating images by "sharing" them to the app, since it lets you translate images much quicker than saving them, switching to the Kagi Translate app, tapping on the camera, tapping on the gallery, and then finding the image.

This is a feature I used on the DeepL app all the time, since it allows translating images from almost any app in 2 clicks without having to clog up my gallery by saving it.

Should be doable, I'll take a look 👍️

I would like Kagi Translate to appear in the share sheet on iOS, specifically when sharing out an image from apps. Then Kagi can open, OCR the text, and translate it

I open an image, for example in my photos apps. It has text embedded in it (perhaps a screenshot).

Then I use the share sheet and Kagi would appear there.

More generally, I should be able to share any content to the app (via the platform sharing method) that the app can ingest.
For example, I use an iOS shortcut that appears in the iOS share sheet. I can thus share selected text directly to the PWA. I would prefer to use the translate app over the PWA.
