eBook reader app where selected text automatically gets translated to selected language

I'm looking for an app that allows me to read ebooks (basically ebook) files that basically allows me to do the following:

  1. Select text and have it directly be translated by pop-up in the default translation app. No need to select option in the context-menu/press other button
  2. Set a fixed language to translate FROM instead of relying on the automatic determination. E.g. set Cantonese or Japanese as "from" language so it doesn't see it as Mandarin Chinese instead

On Android I have succesfully used LibreraReader for this, but on iOS I haven't found anything smilar. Closest I found was FBreader, but it still needs you to find translation option in the context menu.

Does anyone know if there is an iOS app that allows this?
