Scratch 3 and NodeRED working together

Hi Simon,
Just been trying to get "Translate" to work.
Will it work with the Desktop offline version of Scratch-3 ???

I might have misunderstood "Translate".

I thought I could send/receive text strings to/from Scratch (and Node-RED) that I could then decode in Scratch to perform things like... move the cat, utter words, etc..
