Translate from english to french

Hi,

I wrote a script to convert a given word from English to French.

But I am not able to figure out what I am missing here.

I am not able to get the translated word

Below is my script:

Code:

French=/root/dict/entofr.txt

for i in $*
do
 word="echo $word $i"
done

while:
do
 cat << file1
          1.From English to French
           2. Quit
      file1

read input

case $input in
  1. dict=$French;;
   2. echo"Not successful"
   exit;;
 esac

echo $word| grep -i "^$word|[^a-z,0-9].*$" $dict

if [ $? != 0 ]
  then
    echo "word not in dict"
  else
    echo "word found"
fi
done

NAME

       american-english-insane - a list of English words

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/share/dict/american-english-insane is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.

FILES

       There  may  be  any  number  of	word lists in /usr/share/dict/.  /etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to the currently-chosen
       /usr/share/dict/<language> file.  /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to /etc/dictionaries-common/words, and  is  the  name  by  which
       other  software should refer to the system word list.  See select-default-wordlist(8) for more information, and/or to change the currently-
       chosen word list.

       The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
       and  /usr/share/dict/danish  contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist.  Such lists should be coded using the ISO
       8859-1 character set encoding.

SEE ALSO

       ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

HISTORY

       The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.

       The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words.  For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does  not
       exist.

AUTHOR

       Word  lists  are  collected and maintained by various authors.  The Debian English word lists are built from the SCOWL (Spell- Checker Ori-
       ented Word Lists) package, whose upstream editor is Kevin Atkinson <kevina@users.sourceforge.net>.
