Miscellany

• A retry mechanism (via pypi tenacity) is built-in to fetch info from glosbe. Refer to the source file for details.
• Local cache (via pypi joblib) is used so that you can interrupt anytime and continue later.
• Scraping is often frowned upon and sometimes can result in your IP being banned from the website. Use this package at your own discretion.
