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.
