$>This tool could easily have been written to convert from any source language to any target language, thanks to the way the deepl api can automatically detect source languages. However, this tool was written for my convenience to be able to very quickly translate words from English to German without navigating around a browser. Although other such tools exist and are very capable, I took the opportunity to practice making API calls in golang and attempt to write somewhat idiomatic golang.
