translate the values in a json file

An input file like this:

{
    "content": {
        "Terms": "Terms and Conditions",
        "More": {
            "Account": "Some Account",
            "Products": {

        }
    }
}

$ translate --input input.json --output output.json --from en --to it

...would produce this output file:

{
