SYNOPSIS
trcn KEYWORD
EXAMPLES
trcn 車

trcn 赤
trcn red
DESCRIPTION
The simplest, most concise translation command I so far know how to make. It translates from English to Chinese, both ways, every time, so it takes the decision of picking the direction from you. Compared with str, from which it evolves, it saves you half the typing (4 letters as opposed to 8), by assuming English is one of the languages you want to translate too and by incorporating the other language into the command name instead of it being a parameter.
It seems trivial but it really feels much faster, not only in typing but in thought too--the whole thought of translating between two languages has been compressed to a word!
