FILES

       translate's preferred language  and  is  stored  in  /etc/translate.conf.  You  can  store  your  private
       configuration  file  in  ~/.translate/translate.conf.  If there are no options in the commandline it uses
       the default values de-en.

       It can also create a private dictionary in the ~/.translate/ directory, e.g. ~/.translate/de-en  for  the
       default language combination.
