Assessed Laboratory Work

Overview

In this project, you will develop a simple command-line interface (CLI) program that translates 10 common English sayings and phrases into a chosen language. It should also be possible to add more translations through the CLI. This project will allow you to practice structuring a CLI application with a clear, organised menu, functions, and error handling. Additionally, the project should incorporate comments, pseudocode, and file-based persistence to save and load translations.

Deliverables

• Python Code File: The main Python file with the complete code for the translation program.
• Translation Data File: A file (e.g., JSON or CSV) containing the English phrases and translations.
• Pseudocode Document: A Document outlining the pseudocode for each part of the program.
• A requirements.txt to allow me to install any dependencies. 

This assessment amounts to 50% of the module, marked out of 100.
