Cheap translation from (in this case en > fi) from command line

gistfile1.sh

# install @sishen's ruby gem for access to Google's translate API access:
# https://github.com/sishen/rtranslate
$ gem install sishen-rtranslate

# add alias for quick access and reload:
# (adjust/add languages as needed)
$ echo "alias fin='rtranslate -f en -t fi'" >> .profile
$ source .profile

# try it:
$ fin "Translation is easy. Understanding is hard."
Käännös on helppoa. Ymmärtäminen on vaikeaa.
