AutoHotkey Community

Dear forum,

I have an idea for a script that would automatically translate a typed word into another language, but I have hardly any idea how to implement this and am not even sure Autohotkey is the most suitable for it.
I'm already using Autohotkey's hotstring function to translate words that I often meet. An example of such a word list would be (English to Dutch):

::book::boek
::table::tafel
::wallet::portemonnee

This works of course, but what I'd really like is a menu to appear when the first characters of a word have been typed, in which suggestions are made for what you are typing (autocomplete) and what the possible translations are. An example:

I'm typing the word "overture". When I'm at the fifth character ("overt"), a menu appears showing the words "overt", "overthrow", "overtime", "overture", etc. I click on "overture", a second menu appears with possible translations, from which I again choose one. This word is inserted in the text.

Has anyone an idea if this is feasable in Autohotkey?

Thanks,
Jilt
