Well, to start with, on launch I see a little message:
While compiling SmileLab Common.applescript:
Expected end of line but found identifier.
I assume SmileLab Common.applescript is a script somewhere in the
application bundle or maybe installed in the Application Support folder,
but I have no idea what it is or whether I need it.

There's really no such thing as translating. It's all a scam. We basically
just make stuff up and try to make it sound plausible.
