# NSWritingToolsCoordinator.TextAnimation.translate

The animation effect that Writing Tools performs on text situated after
the insertion point.

```
case translate
```

## Discussion

When Writing Tools inserts text at a given location, it creates an animation
to make room for the new text. When preparing for this animation, hide the
text between the insertion point and the end of your text storage. When
finishing the animation, show the text again.
