## 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~~
* Add tests
