translate-cli's Issues

OSX Binary not working

Error message is:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libHSturtle-1.3.6-3xumYV3mexpGEJIcB9MiRl-ghc8.0.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/mlechner/Downloads/./translate
  Reason: image not found
[1]    49197 abort      ./translate hallo

glosbe api is not working anymore

Glosbe returns mostly http error 429.

Could be replaced by public google translate endpoint.
