That only does a character-per-character translation.
It will not turn Frogguy into Eva, nor Eva into Frogguy,
not into Currier, Bennett, et al.

Bitrans was designed to do more than that. One of the
files provided in the documentation lets you turn
Chinese written in pinyin into Chinese written in
Giles-Wade and vice versa. You can't do that with
MS Word!
