Translator Interface
The translator interface defines which translator rules are available and activated, as well as allowing you to switch between available presets. Available presets are listed on the left pane window, along with the '[always active]' preset if defined. The right side of the Translator Interface contains the various rules that are defined in the template, along with a checkbox for activating/deactivating the translators and a brief rundown of the incoming and outgoing actions for each.
Each item in the translator interface has an appropriate context menu that is easily accessed by right-clicking the object. Also, global-level actions for either presets or translators can be accessed by right-clicking the background of the appropriate pane you wish to work with.
