Here it is. The first one is kernel_task and the highlighted one is "translate".
Thanks!
Album Art is not responding because i just closed iTunes and it always hangs a few seconds when i use it and then quit iTunes.

Well, we do know that it's something with launchd, as the screenshot before it got edited away showed us.

Cool link, boomarked

What about the translate process? Can you now see why it is launched?

So, does the translate process tells anything to anyone?

You know what, I'll try and find you that answer, after the 10.4.7 update.
If that is okay? It might be gone by then? Who knows?
I'm trying to access the apple discussion pages, but they seem to be down at the moment.

You're going to need to be patient arnoz on this one arnoz.
I don't think it's Adium or Growl doing it.

Well, i'll continue searching. Thanks a lot for your help!

Is the process stealing a lot of CPU or memory? If not, why not just ignore it?

It doesn't seem to use any CPU, and 10MB of memory. So no, it's not a big deal at all. But i am a switcher, and firstly i was wondering what it was. Then, i am also looking to have most of my apps in UB so that perfs are better (i suppose).
Coming from Windows, when you see a strange process in the activity monitor, you immediately think of a virus

(joke, i know it isn't...)

I'm curious about this too.
I've pretty much just confirmed, I think, that Adium does not cause the "translate" process. I restarted my computer, and, before launching Adium, I check Activity Monitor, and Translate was there.
However, I have GrowlHelperApp, Quicksilver, iScrobbler, Dashboard KickStart, PopCopy, and textexpanderd in my login items. I'll be testing with login items off soon, to see if Translate comes from one of them. I suspect it does.

Maybe something like lsof or fs_usage would show what's going on?

Well, for me you're talking japanese right now

But anyway, thanks a lot for all your help! Will continue to read this thread.

Why can't it just be rosettta, being in the background.
As, it will start processing if a PPC binary is activated?
