  Description

  This pull request adds functionality to convert data into CSV, TSV, and JSON formats. The changes include:

• Extension of the convert_to_json and convert_to_csv_or_tsv methods in convert.py.
• Updates to the CLI in main.py to support new conversion commands.

  Example Commands:

  1. From JSON to CSV:

     
     scribe-data convert --lan French --data-type translations --input-file ./fli/French/translations.json --output-type csv --output-dir ./converted/

  2. From CSV to JSON:

     
     scribe-data convert --lan French --data-type translations --input-file ./converted/French/translations.csv --output-type json --output-dir ./converted/

  3. From JSON to TSV:

     
     scribe-data convert --lan French --data-type translations --input-file ./fli/French/translations.json --output-type tsv --output-dir ./converted/ 

  4. From TSV to JSON:

     
     scribe-data convert --lan French --data-type translations --input-file ./converted/French/translations.tsv --output-type json --output-dir ./converted/ 

I tested the changes by running the CLI commands and verifying that the output matched the expected formats. I want to get feedback on the approaches before implementing the code tests and the SQLite conversion support

@mhmohona, if you have time, it'd be great if you could take a first look at the changes to convert.py :) Let me know if I should check it from the start!

@john-thuo1, is there a way that we can get the commit history here cleaned up a bit? It's hard for us to review this as I can't tell what the changes are that are in here and already on main. What might make sense would be to make a new branch from the current version of main and add your changes to that? Then open a new PR?

Alright. Apologies for that. Still getting the hang of cherry-picking.
