Great.  Will test it shortly.  BTW,  we can now easily support a "Cut/Paste"
as well since the text ( "Cut" ) should also have been translated before and the
only difference b/n Copy and Cut is a single flag so that the ::slotPaste() can
determine to either copy or move the selection.  This is why I put the
selection code in a separate memeber function (::copySelection() ).  Should we
add this functionality since it is very trivial to implement ???
