Replacing characters in strings with translate function

Replacing characters in strings with translate() function

Function translate() replaces characters in the second argument with the characters in the third one. If the second argument is longer than the third one, characters from the second argument which have no counterpart in the third one are deleted.

Consult replace() if you want to replace a character by several characters or a substring by a different one.
