There is also a Google (and more) translate client written in AWK

I found an awesome-awk[1] page on github and is seems to be a little empty. Maybe we should contribute to it and bring some examples like subj of this HN post or ahrf[2], dedicated markup language for static site generators based on awk. I've started with adding one true awk and bioawk implementations.
