Translator is a tool made for entertainment purposes to allow players to communicate with encoded public messages (local chat) and (as a bonus) will translate across language differences, if the speaker and listener are both using this add-on.

Please note this translator will not translate between the Alliance and Horde sides by default; even if this may be technically possible with a modification to the translator lexicon.lua file.

Example usage:

1. Player A is a Night Elf and selects his current language used to be Darnassian.
2. Player A types "/trans hey, can you read this"
3. Player B is a Gnome but has this add-on installed and sees the message "hey, can you see this", even though he cannot speak Darnassian.
4. All other players without this translator see encoded text, even if they can speak the language used by the speaker.
