- Translate all the parameters and return object into english

## Usage/Examples

First you need to initialize `screenscraper-js` by having:

```javascript
const screenScraperJS = new ScreenScraperJS({
  // required
  // you can request a developer account here: https://www.screenscraper.fr/forumsujets.php?frub=12&numpage=0
  devId: "yourDevID",
  devPassword: "yourDevPassword",
  // optional
  userName: "yourUserName",
  userPassword: "yourUserPassword",
