+## Setting up translators - HowTo
+
+Translators can be got from hurd-extras <http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/>
+
+    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/hurdextras co <modulename> 
+
+* httpfs translator 
+
+<!-- Prevent ikiwiki / Markdown rendering bug.  -->
+
+    $ 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      
+
+* ftpfs translator
+
+<!-- Prevent ikiwiki / Markdown rendering bug.  -->
+
+    $ settrans -cgap ftp /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs /
+    $ cd ftp
+    ftp$ ls
+    ftp$ cd ftp.fr.debian.org
+    ftp/ftp.fr.debian.org $ ls
+
+* tarfs  translator 
+
+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. ;)
+    
+* cvsfs translator 
+
+<!-- Prevent ikiwiki / Markdown rendering bug.  -->
+
+    $ settrans -ac cvsfs_testing /hurd/cvsfs cvs.savannah.nongnu.org /sources/hurdextras
+    $ cd cvsfs_testing
+   
+* pfinet translator --  configuring your network interface 
+
+<!-- Prevent ikiwiki / Markdown rendering bug.  -->
+
+    $ settrans -fgca /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i <interface> -a <ip address> -m <subnet mask> -g <gateway ip>
+   
+* Console translator -- setting up virtual consoles  
+
+<!-- Prevent ikiwiki / Markdown rendering bug.  -->
+
+    $ console -d vga -d pc_mouse -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs
+   
+* iso9660fs translator --  'mounting' your cdrom 
+
+<!-- Prevent ikiwiki / Markdown rendering bug.  -->
+
+    $ settrans -ac /cdrom /hurd/iso9660fs /dev/<cdrom device file>      
+   
+* ext2fs translator  -- 'mounting' an ext2fs partition 
+
+<!-- Prevent ikiwiki / Markdown rendering bug.  -->
+
+    $ settrans -ac /linux /hurd/ext2fs /dev/<partition device file>   
+
+* unionfs translator 
+
+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.
