`translate` is a command line interface for the Google Translator service
written in Python programming language.

Usage: translate [-x] FROM TO [WORDS...]

If WORDS are missing it tries to read from STDIN. This allows piping.
Empty STDIN enters a input mode. Enter words and invoke on a
newline ^D to leave the text mode and continue translation.

Passing -x will show extended output (i.e. alternative translations) if
available.
