A Google Translate Command Line Interface
https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppet-translator
This tool translates passed text via Google Translate.
This tool internally uses Google Chrome, so it should have been installed on
your system. And you should also specify the path to the chrome. It can be
done via a command line option or a environment variable
PUPPET_TRANSLATOR_CHROME_BIN_PATH.
It is supposed that this tool will work on every environment as long as you can browse https://translate.google.com by Google Chrome.
