How to copy/paste text chat in game?

[Taitoru]

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.

It doesn't work , I dont know why.
when i do >> ctrl + c >> alt + tab >> google translate , etc >> ctrl + v = when i paste it become the last message that i copy in internet browser , other program or something but not message that i copy from ffxiv arr game

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.
