Currently, we only support English and German but the goal is to support as many languages as possible. Luckily, Thunderbird has already done the work of translating the necessary strings and their translations are open source: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/language-tools/

We should write a simple script to extract the necessary translations from the Thunderbird language packs and import them here.

Currently, mail2pdf is only available as a JS library. But it would probably be useful for some people to be able to use it as a CLI application.

It should be fairly simple to write a simple CLI wrapper and then add the bin property to the package.json.

I had to make the following changes to get it to run

`
//import mail2pdf from 'mail2pdf';
//import { promises as fs } from 'fs';

const fs = require('fs.promises');
const mail2pdf = require('mail2pdf');

(async () => {
// Simply call the mail2pdf() function with the email (or
// emails as an array) you want to convert. You can also
// pass additional options, see below for details.
const pdf = await mail2pdf('email.eml', { language: 'en' });
// The resulting PDF is returned as a Buffer that you can
// save to disk for example.
await fs.writeFile('sample.pdf', pdf);
})();
