TODO

  • Add 'translation link' support (translate from Chinese to English and then translate back to Chinese then to French then to English ...).

    Use case: This can be used to reduce repetition rate of thesis you are writing.

  • Use youdao's official API instead of scraping this site.

  • use Git & GitHub to manage version history, most likely starting from version 0.1.0

  • Future plans (maybe?)

    • potentially add other vendor support (baidu, iciba etc.)
    • migrate this package to maybe @atimidguy/translator
