Right now this randomly chooses between languages a random amount of times, but there's no way to exclude tokens from translation using the current library which is crucial. So I'll need to:

1. Find a better source than (or a better way to use) Libre as a translator platform, like wrapping html tags around tokens and preventing it from translating these then stripping those tags after translate
2. Create a full parsing engine that will read CK3's localization files and convert them to JSON key/value pairs, sanitizing the input
3. Find a better way to batch. This basic translation package wants small data like sentences, but ideally I'd batch entire files at a time and I don't want separate strings interfering with one another or hitting slowdowns from too many requests due to the 7-20 requests per translation needed. It might be worth going to Google and doing per-page translation
4. Fully recreate the game's original localization file structure with translated results, which will likely need to process via chunks / folders at a time. It may be worth writing a wrapper that keeps track of chunks and where it is so I can freely process the next chunk at will or schedule them
5. Test if random translation is better / funnier than a specified chain.
6. Ideally find a free source for ML translation since all the ones I've seen are paid, and it's a lot pricier than I care to spend for something that will never make me a dime
