What the #$% is BabelDoc ?

BabelDoc is a program which allows you to translate documents or text
strings from one language to another via "Yahoo!"'s translation services.
It can be launched from the WorkBench or CLI. If no parameters are given
from CLI, BabelDoc will behave the same as if launched from the WorkBench.
There are 3 input modes and they are as follows:-

text: Intended for one line texts since a carraige return will close the
      string requestor. In CLI you may also enter text directly after the
      `text' parameter if you wish.

kcon: Allows you to enter or paste up to 3500 characters and will output
      to a KingCON console and word wrap to your screen size. Refer to
      KingCON documentation for its usage.

file: Allows you convert a text file(s) of unlimited size. In CLI you may 
      also specify file name(s) after the `file' parameter if you wish. 
      The output file will be word wrapped to 76 characters in length and
      will have the same name with a language extension added to it.
      eg. #?.English


WorkBench usage is fairly straight forward and CLI usage is as follows:-


 Usage:-  BabelDoc <language> <text/kcon/file>

 Languages:-
             en_nl  =  English to Dutch
             en_fr  =  English to French

             es_en  =  Spanish to English
             es_fr  =  Spanish to French

 eg. BabelDoc en_fr text

If the language parameter is null (="") or invalid then the language
selector will open.

       and interpret these text codes would be welcome.
