Note: Vulgar's Smart Translator can currently only translate particular kinds of sentences. If it can't translate the sentence, you can turn off the Smart Translation and manually attach the correct affixes to the words in the sentence. Use underscore to hook compound words, e.g.
show_up for "show up" (as in "attend") and not "show" + "up". This is also required for different senses of a word:
letter_(of_an_alphabet) vs
letter_(written_document).
