Hacker Translator

Posted James on September 11th, 2005 | Filed under AppleScript

Version 1.15 – Sept 28/03

Hacker Translator will translate any text you input into ‘leet-speak’. The idea of ‘leet-speak’ is to replace as many letters with numbers/symbols as possible.
Hacker Translator will also let you customize the translation process, by changing options such as enabling/disabling word translation, enabling/disabling character translation, specifying whether characters will translate into numbers or symbols or random. You can also translate ‘leet-speak’ back into english, allowing you to decode cryptic H4X0R messages.

What’s New

In version 1.15, you can specify which direction of translation you would like, and you can also randomize the character translation process via the preferences window.
