I'm pretty sure Marcin means something else when he says translating,
i.e., translating from one encoding to another encoding, not translating
between languages. For example, one might have the German word
"m{\"a}{\ss}igen" in a ASCII-encoded TeX buffer and what should actually
be passed to ispell/hunspell is "mäßigen" in UTF-8 encoding where the
translation would be `iso-tex2iso' and `iso-iso2tex'.
