To make the translator to intercept comments from Nico Nico comment server, you have to alias Nico Nico comment server domain (msg.nicovideo.jp) to your localhost (127.0.0.1). Open your hosts file using text editor (you probably need administrator permission), and then add the following line:

127.0.0.1    msg.nicovideo.jp
