#-- This script provides a 'gist' translation of a text file, using the
#-- i2e.sh utility. Really, the i2e.sh utility is not necessary since all
#-- that that program does is look up a plain text dictionary file.
#-- This script translates from English into Spanish. The idea is to
#-- provide some assistance to a human translator, rather than to provide
#-- a 'machine translation' (such as the AltaVista and Google Web Translators)
#--
#-- The script is very slow. It can only translate approximately 1 line of
#-- text per second. More precisely, using the unix 'time' command revealed
#-- that it translates 124 words in 38 seconds.
#--  16 sec/ 55 words
