My flow now is:
1) Highlight word
2) right click
3) cut and paste
4) switch to a tab with dictionary.goo.ne.jp
5) paste
6) click button to lookup
7) switch back to my translation document
I want to minimize the steps and time in the above process which occurs frequently.

You can automate that to a single step after selecting by creating an Automator Service (comes with OS X/macOS). I wrote this article quite some time ago, and I'm not sure if all apps I mentioned still work under macOS Sierra. I'm not going to re-write it, because you can integrate web searches in CafeTran.
