If you are on a computer, highlight the text you want with a mouse. Then use control+c, control+v. I do not know how to help you if you use a PS3.

Highlight the text in the chat window by click-and-drag with your mouse. Press CTL-C to copy. Alt-Tab to go to whatever you're doing out of game, then CTL-V to paste it. If it works in game, should work out of game just the same.

Is the text in the chat window that you are trying to translate covered with a "highlight"? If it's only pasting the last thing you copied from your browser, then whatever it is you're trying to copy in-game isn't getting copied. This would suggest you either aren't highlighting it, or you have CTL-C bound to something in-game.
