API

var fs = require('fs');
var multilang = require('multilang');

var englishText = fs.readFileSync('README.md', {encoding:'utf8'});

var warnings = multilang.getWarnings(englishText);
if(warnings.lengt){
    console.log('WARN', warnings);
}

var spanishText = multilang.changeDoc(englishText,'es');

console.log('spanish.md',spanishText);

(note about the example: do not use Sync functions in production, use async or promise version as you can see in codenautas
