I am learning Japanese and installed the OS in Japanese to immerse myself in the language. Sometimes I want to copy messages from windows, menus and dialog boxes so that I can look them up on the dictionary, but I cant. I saw that there there many options for doing this in Windows. Are there any similar options available for Ubuntu?
