To set the language you want to translate, use the -l option in the options and specify the language.

For example, gt -t "Hello" -l Japanese

If there is no value, it will be translated into English by default.

You can also specify it by setting a value in the environment variable GT_LANGUAGE.

For example, export GT_LANGUAGE=Japanese && gt -t "Hello"

Try it out by opening the command line and typing gt -t "Hello!" -l Japanese

# Translated from English to French
$ gt -t "I love Tokyo greatly, it is wonderful to be here." -l French
# => J'aime Tokyo grandement, c'est merveilleux d'être ici.

# Translated from Spanish to Arabic
$ gt -t "Me gusta mucho Tokio; es maravilloso estar aquí." -l Arabic
# => الحب لطوكيو كثيرا؛ هو مدهش أن نكون هنا.

# Translated from Japanese to Italian
$ gt -t "私は東京がとても好きです。素晴らしいところです。" -l Italian
# => Mi piace molto Tokyo. È un posto meraviglioso.

# Translated from Mandarin to Portuguese
