Integrate translation from Torii Translate

Torii translate is a manga translation service that translates directly from Japanese (and other languages). https://toriitranslate.com It would be great to integrate it into the app to dynamically translate images as they load. I've been testing it for a while and it works quite well. It looks like it has an API available here: https://rapidapi.com/stringieee/api/torii-image-translator

I think this kind of feature is better handled on the server side rather than in the app itself. If you do it in the client, every page has to be re-translated each time you read, which is slow and resource heavy. On the server, you'd only need to translate the book once, save a copy, and then just serve it like any other file.
That said, Komic already supports Live Text, so you can select text on the page and run a translation with the system translator. You can enable it in Settings -> Reader -> Enable Live Text.
