With Baudot code machines could be built that would automatically decode the signal and type it out as plain english.
Bonus fact: Those machines could also be used to type out plain French.

Righto. To be fair I should be probably refer to the coded message as a cipher and the decoded message as the translation. Baudot’s original bit system was made for French, it got popular in France and then Britain and eventually the USA. It was later tweaked by another guy so the code put less wear on the machinery verse operators dexterity as Baudot had done. This is called Baudot-Murray code.
