DESCRIPTION

This module tries to get translated lyrics from http://lyricstranslate.com. It searches for a translation of the given artist and song title from any language to a requested language (which defaults to English), and returns the contents of the first result found.

It is recommended to use the module directly, as using it via Lyrics::Fetcher loses empty lines between parahraphs.

The target language can be specified as either a number or a string. If a string is given, it is looked up in the hash %Lyrics::Fetcher::LyricsTranslate::LANGUAGES which maps language names to their numerical identifiers. The hash was generated from the website, and it might be outdated.

The target language is passed as the third argument to the fetch method. If using the module via Lyrics::Fetcher, the target language cannot be set and defaults to English.
