@end defvar

@defvar translation-table-for-input
Self-inserting characters are translated through this translation
table before they are inserted.  This variable automatically becomes
buffer-local when set.

@code{set-buffer-file-coding-system} sets this variable so that your
keyboard input gets translated into the character sets that the buffer
is likely to contain.

@defvar translation-table-for-input
Self-inserting characters are translated through this translation
table before they are inserted.  Search commands also translate their
input through this table, so they can compare more reliably with
what's in the buffer.

@code{set-buffer-file-coding-system} sets this variable so that your
keyboard input gets translated into the character sets that the buffer
is likely to contain.  This variable automatically becomes
buffer-local when set.
