Changing location of translated file

• use --output_directory with directory argument to change the saving location for the translated output file

Don't like the name arb_translator_..blah..blah..blah.arb ??

• use --output_file_name with the single file name so that the output file name will be changed.
• from the below code the output file will be of the name justkawal_{language code}.arb
• Remember that we will automatically concate the language code of the respective files

flutter packages pub run arb_translator:translate --source_arb path/to/source_en.arb --api_key path/to/api_key_file --language_codes hi,en,zh --output_directory /path/to/my/custom/output_directory/ --output_file_name justkawal_
