It converts HTML entities back to their original characters. Where
htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() will take characters like <, >,
and & and turn them into &lt;, &gt;, and &amp, the code you have will
take those entities and turn them back into <, >, and &. 

It's all explained on the get_html_translation_table() manual page, if
you care to read the manual.
