Global Shortcuts is a Slack feature being that can be accessed via the lightning bolt icon in the composer (formatting) toolbar, as shown here. The shortcuts icon will reveal a menu of shortcuts from apps that you have installed, including Translate. Choose the Translate Text shortcut:

The Translate Text shortcut will bring up a form that you can use to enter or paste text in any language, to be translated in your chosen language. For example, you can paste text in another language and translate it to your language, or you can enter text in your own language to translate into another language, which you can optionally copy/paste or post into a channel or DM.
