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).
