The **Translator **property is a reference to the TranslatorClass object for the AsciiPrintClass object. The AsciiPrintClass object uses this property to translate text in the object's Print Options dialog to the appropriate language.

**Implementation:**

The AsciiPrintClass does not initialize the Translator property. The AsciiPrintClass only invokes the Translator if the Translator property is not null. You can use the AsciiViewerClass.SetTranslator method or a reference assignment statement to set the Translator property.
