(feature request) a way to pause and continue a translation process that takes days to execute; plus a progress indicator about argos-translate

You definitely shouldn't be translating whole documents at once, that would take a long time even on a beast of a machine.

This could be considered "low level" library, and the features you are asking for are don't really make sense for what it is.
Everything you are asking for is a fairly easy task to accomplish, but I don't think it really suits the library. Maybe I'm wrong though I just found it an hour ago.

If I were you I'd translate it line by line, or sentence by sentence, like you mentioned. This is easily automated for even a beginner coder, or are you from a non-coding background?

1. Read the document stream until you reach a period.
2. Translate the sentence, save to your output stream.
3. Save the position in a secondary file, so if you need to start later, you can open the file and begin where you left off.
4. Update your progress after each sentence by checking your current position to the length of the stream.
5. As for viewing past translations, if you are doing it in chunks you can just open the file to view it.

If you need help automating it, let me know, and we can talk about it.
