Ever wanted to speak 1337 but not been #4><0R enough?
Now you can, thanks to the Eng-1337 Translator:D
Something I wrote this morning in Python - you’ll need to have Python installed to run it. It also uses the TKinter module but that normally comes as part of the installation:yes:
Enter the English text you want to translate into the top text field, click translate and the 1337 - 5|*34|< translation will appear at the bottom.

NOTE: At the moment it does not translate back from 1337, I’ll probably add this in for the next release;)
