Ah!  That would have to be whatever windows version running under qemu in
xorg.  Also it would require a cygwin enviroment.

 NB> I searched "translate "

Just a standard search then.  I thought you might have been referencing
Google's trans app which is a commandline based translator using outside
servers.
