   During decoding, the translation table's translations are applied to
the characters that result from ordinary decoding.  If a coding system

   During encoding, the translation table's translations are applied to
the characters in the buffer, and the result of translation is actually
encoded.  If a coding system has property `:encode-translation-table',
