Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When hovering over a translation key, the i18n Ally menu appears. However, right after it shows up, a small "loading" text briefly appears below the menu. This causes the menu to shift its position slightly.
Because of this, if I try to click an option too quickly, I often end up clicking the wrong one. To avoid mistakes, I need to wait ~1 second until the menu stabilizes, which slows down the workflow.
This is especially frustrating when working with many keys daily, since it adds noticeable friction.

Describe the solution you'd like
The menu should stay stable once it appears, without being shifted by the "loading" state. Possible solutions could be:

  • Reserve space in advance so the loading text doesn’t push the menu down.

  • Load in the background before showing the menu.

  • Show a loading indicator above the menu, not altering its position.

Additional context
This issue is minor when translating a few keys, but in workflows involving constant translations it becomes a significant slowdown.
