Translators have to hide.... translators get a lot of IRC paparazzi and puppy-eye degree pleading. I am not even exaggerating, it's especially bad at cons when sometimes people try to make deals over dinners. In fact, after a recent stalking incident (this person knew I work 12+ hour days and most of my IRC talking time is just me procrastinating from work due to frustration), I've changed my vhost to say "don't ask me to translate I am busy", so that my availability is self-explanatory and I don't have to say no to friends. Also translators almost always seem to be either too busy or too available at any given time.
