Default options

Default languages supported by using environment variables (thanks to @michaelsavich):

export JA_GTC_SOURCE='en' # your preferred source language code
export JA_GTC_TARGET='es' # your preferred target language code

If those environment variables are not set then translations from English to Spanish by default.

TODO

• Add editable default options
