I think for the list of "file types" you just do:
translator -q -list
Anything that is returned in that array can be used in the -extension query.
eg:
string $typeList[] = `translator -q -list`;
for ($type in $typeList)
{
string $ext = `translator -q -extension $type`;
print ($ext + "\n");
}
Some translators return an empty string for their extension though...
