Their debut album, Heartbeats and Triggers (415/Columbia 1982), produced by David Kahne, was a college-radio hit. The second album, 1983's No Time Like Now was also produced by Kahne and included the hit single �Un-Alone�. Their third album from 1985, simply titled Translator was helmed by Ramones producer Ed Stasium, as was their final album, Evening of the Harvest (1986). Everywhere That I�m Not �A Retrospective was released by Columbia in 1986. Two CD retrospectives were released, 1995�s Translation on Oglio Records and Everywhere That We Were � The Best of Translator by Sony/Legacy in 1996. In the mid-�90s they were paid the highest compliment when voracious Beatle fans alerted the world via the Internet and fanzines that the Fab Three had re-recorded a version of the Beatles instrumental "Cry For a Shadow" during the Anthology sessions. The tape was later found to be a track from a 1983 Translator EP!

All members of the band continue to play music in some form: Dave Scheff immediately joined Winter Hours for a brief spell and is currently the drummer in the house band at the world renowned San Francisco show Teatro Zinzanni , and Steve Barton released his first solo effort The Boy Who Rode His Bike Around The World in 2000 and his current 2005 CD, Charm Offensive.
