If that looks familiar: yep this macro was already posted in Oct.2018, in another topic.
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?2,147819
Just thought it's much easier to find here, in an own little topic in extensions forum, and not hidden in the middle of a long, very technical and partly offtopic discussion. Code is still the same, just updated the forum link inside.
MENU:
1) Tools > Translation > Using > Hack...
2) Or right-click on selected text > Translation > Using > Hack...
This is only a supplement macro, to
add YANDEX and BING to the translation services.
It only switches 2 native URL-prefs, nothing else:
kmeleon.plugins.macros.translate.service.url.page = http... (native KM)
kmeleon.plugins.macros.translate.service.url.text = http... (native KM)
All the rest is handled by the original "translate.kmm" macro.
IMPORTANT:
only works if this original macro is set to GOOGLE, not to babelfish.

WARNING:
Some translations are just hysterical, but others can be dangerously misleading!
Just do your own little comparison tests between Google-Yandex-Bing (or DeepL)
Would never have imagined, but with Yandex it can even happen that parts of translations are silently omitted, without any notice, or other parts freely invented out of nothing!
Google translations still seem the most reliable. And if it can't translate something, it shows at least the original text.
BUT even Google makes not only grave mistakes too, but also invents freely all sorts of nonsene, e.g. when translation mumumu or such! reddit is full with examples:

Another Yandex prob last year was text cropped at the end. Then noticed it's there, just invisible, due to missing scrollbars. Only Copy&Paste into a text editor showed the complete text.
INSTALLATION:
copy the attached kmm-file into a macros folder (global one, or create it manually in profile)
Restart browser, open menu Tools > Translation > Using > click on Google, Bing etc.
UNINSTALL: use menu to first reset to Hack=Google, then remove the kmm file and restart
