The first two, \`fg', force any existing translator to go away. The next two, \`ap', make both active and passive translators. This means that the operating system both starts the translator immediately and saves the settings in the node on the file system. This former also means that any error messages are sent to \`stderr'. The next argument, \`/server/socket/2', is the node that the translator is to be attached to. This is followed by the translator program to run and any arguments to give it. +Here, `settrans` is passed several options. The first two, `fg`, force any existing translator to go away.
