Problem

Create a program that connects to dict.org and translates any words the user enters on the command line into Latin. Here is what you need to know about the dict.org website:

• You should use port 2628
• You need to write to the server in the following format: "DEFINE fd-eng-lat " + wordToTranslate + "\r\n"
• If the resulting line starts with 250 then it returned a result.
• If the resulting line starts with 552 then there was no match.

Here is a sample run of the program:

java LatinDictionary earth world Rome

earth /əːθ/
   humus; tellus; terra
   
No definitions found for world

Rome /roum/
   Roma

You should also build a daytime server like the one demonstrated in the lesson. Create a way to get the date and time from the server in your program. It should connect through a secure socket. You should also create a server log for your daytime server that logs requsts and errors.
