    The Translator by default starts in Local mode since the translator can be used to translate connection attempt errors. Once the connection is established it can be provided to the translator using this method thus putting the translator in Server mode. IN Local mode only error translations are possible and the translation will happen using the Local Error Translation File provided as a connection property. In Server mode it will delegate the translation to the server.
