[Elecraft] Another fun K3 feature

[Phil Hystad]

So, Elecraft is coming out with CW -->  SSB.  I never knew that and I can't wait.

But, I hope they do this right.  I mean, SSB by itself would not be as useful as choosing the target language for that SSB.  I can see where English is obvious but I might want to try my hand at Spanish, or maybe French and German.  Ideally, we would do CW in English translated to Spanish SSB or visa-versa.  Google can do it, certainly the wizards of Aptos can do it too.
