No input file, source, or stdin to translate from.

Error message

No input file, source, or stdin to translate from.

What it means

Input guard in determine_input (called from translate): neither `--raw` nor `--file` was provided, and stdin is attached to a terminal rather than a pipe, so there is no source text to translate. The input at fault is the empty combination of all three input channels (raw source, file path, piped stdin).

Solutions

1. Provide input to dx translate via --file, --raw, or stdin.
