Hello
Apologies. I have tried to use some of the translators, read some of the
documents provided on the page. I was thinking that trying to write something
would be a better way to learn. I will go through the presentations carefully.
Thanks

Please always keep the mailing list in Cc, so you optimize the chance of getting
a complete answer in a minimized time. Otherwise, you run the risk of either
get a terse answer, or have to wait (possibly long) that I have time to provide
a lengthier answer (or simply that I come back from vacations...)

You may want to check out the slides of my fosdem presentation
https://fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/hurd/
which presents some of these small hacks. The valgrind hack is actually
not small, as shown by last year's GSoC :)

Did you first get familiar with the system? It is really important to
understand what translators are, before being able to understand most of
these small hacks.
