I'm very confused about the purpose of this. If it's just taking advantage of the Translate API so you don't have to use the browser app, I can see the convenience of being able to, say, write a local script without having to munge through API docs and get a Google account and so on. However, I'm confused about it being branded as a language learning tool...
i think post commit hooks would be a better idea than aliasing git?
interesting hack nonetheless :)<p>EDIT: also I presume you could use afplay on OSX which is preinstalled rather than suggesting installing mpg123
