Hii there,

I;m trying to build a plugin that allows the use of a `Command` using `Cake\Console\Command` class.

For this, I have created a file in `src/Command` called `TranslateCommand.php`, containing the following content:

```php
<?php
  namespace FinlayDaG33k\Translate\Command;

  use Cake\Console\Arguments;
  use Cake\Console\Command;
  use Cake\Console\ConsoleIo;

  class TranslateCommand extends Command {
    public function execute(Arguments $args, ConsoleIo $io) {
      $io->out('Translate command ran');
    }
  }

```

I’ve also added the following line in my `src/Application.php` (of the main app):

```php
$this->addPlugin('FinlayDaG33k/Translate');

```

But when I run `cake --help` it’s not in the list nor when I call `cake translate`, I get a “command not found” error (from the cake cli).  
My question hereby is, how do I call the console commands created by a plugin?
