The **Init **method initializes the TranslatorClass object.

**Implementation:**

The Init method uses the TranslatorClass.AddTranslation method to add the translation pairs declared in ABUTIL.TRN to the translation process.

**Example:**

**Translator   TranslatorClass       !declare Translator object**

** CODE**

** Translator.Init                   !initialize Translator object:**

**                                   ! with default translation pairs**

** !program code**

** Translator.Kill                   !shut down Translator object**
