but api key and source file will be overwridden by call
resourceTranslator --optionsfile "C:\PathToYourOptions\sampleOptions.json" -key "diferentApiKey" -f "PathToMyFile.json"
Because this tool only translate if translations are missing by default you can easially use it on every Build to ensure your resource files are complete and sorted.
