The **Translator **property is a reference to the TranslatorClass object for the WindowManager. The WindowManager uses this property to translate window text to the appropriate language.

The AddItem method sets the value of the Translator property.

**Implementation:**

The WindowManagerClass does not initialize the Translator property. The WindowManager only invokes the Translator if the Translator property is not null. Your derived Init method should initialize the Translator property if translation is needed. See the [[windowmanager overview.htm#egi1 oy|Conceptual Example]].
