+## Setting up translators - HowTo
+
+Translators can be got from hurd-extras <http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/>
+<pre>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/hurdextras co <modulename> </pre>
+
+   * httpfs translator <pre>
+     $ settrans -a tmp/ /hurd/httpfs www.hurd-project.com/        (or)
+     $ settrans -a tmp/ /hurd/httpfs www.hurd-project.com/ --proxy=<proxy> --port=<port>
+     $ cd tmp/
+     $ ls -l      
+    </pre>
+
+   * ftpfs translator<pre>    
+     $ settrans -cgap ftp /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs /
+     $ cd ftp
+     ftp$ ls
+     ftp$ cd ftp.fr.debian.org
+     ftp/ftp.fr.debian.org $ ls
+</pre>
+
+   * tarfs  translator <pre>
+    You can use tarfs to mount (almost) any tar file:
+    $ settrans -ca a /hurd/tarfs -z myfile.tar.gz
+    $ settrans -ca b /hurd/tarfs -y myfile.tar.bz2
+    $ settrans -ca c /hurd/tarfs myfile.tar
+            You can even use it to create new tar files:
+    $ settrans -ca new /hurd/tarfs -cz newfile.tar.gz
+    $ cp -r all my files  new/
+    $ syncfs new
+           This is not as fast as "tar czvf newfile.tar.gz all my files" but at least, it's more original. ;)
+    </pre> 
+    
+   * cvsfs  translator <pre>
+    $ settrans -ac cvsfs_testing /hurd/cvsfs cvs.savannah.nongnu.org /sources/hurdextras
+    $ cd cvsfs_testing
+     </pre>
+   
+   * pfinet translator --  configuring your network interface <pre>
+    $ settrans -fgca /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i <interface> -a <ip address> -m <subnet mask> -g <gateway ip>
+     </pre>
+   
+   * Console translator -- setting up virtual consoles  <pre>
+    $ console -d vga -d pc_mouse -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs
+    </pre>
+   
+   * iso9660fs translator --  'mounting' your cdrom <pre>
+    $ settrans -ac /cdrom /hurd/iso9660fs /dev/<cdrom device file>      
+      </pre>
+   
+   * ext2fs translator  -- 'mounting' an ext2fs partition <pre>
+    $ settrans -ac /linux /hurd/ext2fs /dev/<partition device file>   
+    </pre>
+
+   * unionfs translator <pre>
+    To join "foo/" "bar/" and "baz/" in the directory "quux/", just do:
+
+    $ settrans -capfg quux/ /hurd/unionfs foo/ bar/ baz/
+
+    If you want to join even quux/ contents in the union itself, add -u as a translator argument.
+    You can add filesystems at run-time with the fsysopts command.
+    </pre>
