Re: [orca-list] OT: Good command line tool for translation with google translate

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

This is kind of OT, but I agree it is a very good tool. 
A couple of tips:
Set up a configuration file so that you do not have to enter a lot of command line optiuons to get a 
translation. 
I suggest making a couple of ~/.config/translate-shell/init.trans files to swap out.
For those who usually translate one language, but sometimes need to translate others I made a script    
that rewrites your config file using the input language you enter on the commandline, or if nothing is 
entered returning to your default language.
I'll package this up for the AUR for arch users in a couple of days if I don't have a chance tomorrow, and 
post a git url for everybody else. 
I had to add a ppa to get a working version of this ap for ubuntu 14.04/vinux5.
