Description:
Translate is an interactive console prompt that takes a word from the user and
returns its translation. It requires a translation file as a command-line
argument and may have an audit file specified to log its output.
Dictionary is a program used by Translate to process the translation file and
lookup the translation for each word supplied by the user.
A separate file containing the words to look up and their translations must be
provided. This file must have each word and its translation together on a single
line, separated by a tab.
