What’s a shortcut?
A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Shortcuts app lets you create your own shortcuts with multiple steps. For example, build a “Surf Time” shortcut that grabs the surf report, gives an ETA to the beach, and launches your surf music playlist.

What’s an action?
An action—the building block of a shortcut—is a single step in a task. Mix and match actions to create shortcuts that interact with the apps and content on your Apple devices, as well as with content and services on the internet. Each shortcut is made up of one or more actions.

There are two ways to display the translation suggestion: as a Notification or via the clipboard viewer.

The translation can be inserted in the Target Editor via CMD+V.

If I'm not mistaken, Apple Translate is free and can be used offline, for working at Vatnajökull or in Bialowieza.
