✨ How To Use It

🔥 CLI Mode (a.k.a. Hacker Mode)

./result/bin/translate hello --to=fr

let fancy = translate("hello", Language::Auto, Language::Italian);
assert_eq!(fancy, "ciao");

💾 In C

#include <translate.h>

char* word = c_translate("hello", Auto, German);

c_translate_free(word);

👴 Yes, this works. Yes, it's glorious. ✨
