Description:
Translate is an interactive console prompt that takes a word from the user and
returns its translation. It requires a translation file as a command-line 
argument and may have an audit file specified to log its output.

Dictionary is a program used by Translate to process the translation file and 
lookup the translation for each word supplied by the user. 

A separate file containing the words to look up and their translations must be 
provided. This file must have each word and its translation together on a single
line, separated by a tab.
