how to get the text selection in an applescript

hi there

i want to write a little script which retrieves an url incorporating the
selected text. (dict.leo.org offers great english-german translation on url
basis.) so, how do i find out the selected text in the current application?

and furthermore: is there a way to modify the text in a selection? i'd like
to give back a "result" (the translated word) in the same selection.

thanks, leo
