Dothraki Translator

dothraki

For the TV show Game of Thrones they hired a linguist to create a complete fictional language for the nomadic equestrian Dothraki warrior people.

Creating a full Engligh-to-Dothraki translator is a little too complicated for this class. Fortunately, someone else did it, and made an API for it!

In this project you will make a command-line or web app that accepts user input in English, passes it to the API, parses the response, and displays the translation.
