The example given for dictionary field for logstash translate plugin is incorrect and when used causes logstash error.

In the example for dictionary field in [translate plugin documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-translate.html#plugins-filters-translate-dictionary), there should be no commas. Following is the text which is present on the website.

```
  translate {
    dictionary => {
      "100" => "Continue",
      "101" => "Switching Protocols",
      "merci" => "thank you",
      "old version" => "new version"
    }
  }
}
```
