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

**Implementation:**

The ASCIISearchClass does not initialize the Translator property. The ASCIISearchClass only invokes the Translator if the Translator property is not null. You can use the AsciiViewerClass.SetTranslator method to set the Translator property.
