Perhaps the filter option "Pipe to Program" or the plugin "External Editor" could help to use a script similar to http://hackerspace.kinja.com/highlight-and-google-translate-any-text-in-linux-1648824665 [1] , not necessarily by using a notification thingy. Perhaps an external editor already provides it, so you even might not need a script. I suspect nearly all Linux MUAs, if not all, allow to use, resp. include external programs or scripts. Regarding this I'm not familiar with Evolution. However, at least Claws and Evolution provide it, but I can't explain what exactly you need to do.
