I think asetofsymbols is Italian.

In Italian, many words that start with "trans..." in English, have 
translations starting with "tras...",  without the 'n' (such as 
trasporto for transport).

'Translate' is not one of those, but a missing 'n' probably wouldn't 
stand out as much is it does to a English speaker in proof-reading mode.
