Translates something repeatedly. Currently uses Microsoft's translation API - and you'll need your own API key.
If you don't want the default list of languages, add all the languages you want to translate as command line arguments.
Also available as a library with function showTranslateSequence(apiKey, text, from, toLangs).
Text to translate is in stdin. The API key is in environment variable TRANSLATION_API_KEY, or otherwise in file ./.subkey.txt.
If no arguments are provided, the input text is assumed to be in en and the output sequence is fr de ja es (and back to en).
Thus the default execution is equivalent to arguments of en fr de ja es.
# With the API key in .subkey.txt
./cli.js
| => yarn start en hi he ko th yua zh-Hant ja
yarn run v1.6.0
$ node cli.js en hi he ko th yua zh-Hant ja
