trino

The tool provides a command‑line interface for translating individual words or short phrases into a specified target language. Users invoke the program with the source text and a language code, receiving the translated result directly in the terminal. An additional command detects the language of a given text without performing a translation.

Features include optional automatic copying of the translation to the clipboard, with a “slug” mode that formats the output as lowercase hyphen‑separated words. The CLI offers tab‑based autocompletion for commands, options, and supported language codes, streamlining interactive use.

The package is distributed via npm, can be installed globally, and is released under the GNU GPL v3. It is positioned for developers who need quick, scriptable translation capabilities without leaving the command line.
