Before using deepl_translator, you need to obtain a free API key from DeepL API and configure it in a .env file as follows:

1. Create a free account on DeepL API and obtain an API key here.
2. Create a .env file in the root directory of the project.
3. Add the following content to the .env file, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key:

DEEPL_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

Use deepl_translator from the command line to translate a text file:

cat input.txt | deepl -t [target_language] > output.txt

Here, [target_language] specifies the target language for translation. The options are as follows:

• j or japanese: Translate to Japanese
• e or english: Translate to English

For example, to translate an English text file to Japanese:

cat input.txt | deepl -t j > output.txt
