For a decapsulator, you crack the outer header, lookup, accept, crack the
inner header, lookup and forward.

Wrong.

This was a typo. What you wrote isn't wrong. I was referring to the translator part below:

For a translator, you crack the outer header, lookup, rewrite, and forward.

No, you have to do more work. See above.

Seems not too different...

Very different. I have implemented both and my experience says translation is much harder.
