Just to educate you: Translation unit usually means a file in C++ and
also other languages. Its just an arbitrary amount of code that is to be
translated from the source language into the binary for (or interpreted
in the case of script languages). Its OTOH also used in the background
of translating texts (real-world as well as program-texts), at least
thats what wikipedia told me :)
