I have been wondering this for a while so I went on a very short mission to find out.
Leet or Leetspeak (often written in Leet as 1337 or 13375p34k, or the most common name 13375p33|<) is a writing system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system) used primarily on the Internet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet), particularly in online games such as Counter-Strike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike), Half-Life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life), Half-Life 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2), Team Fortress (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Fortress), and Habbo Hotel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habbo_Hotel). The term itself is derived from the word Elite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite), meaning “better than the rest,” and generally has the same meaning when referring to the hacking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker) skills of another person.
Leet can be defined as the perturbation (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/perturbation) or modification of written text. For example, the term leet itself is often written l33t, or 1337, and many other variations.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet#_note-0) Such perturbations are frequently referred to as “Leetspeak”. In addition to modification of standard language, new colloquialisms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloquialism) have been added to the parlance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parlance). It is also important to note that Leet itself is not solely based upon one language or character set. Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language), Russian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language), Chinese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language), and other languages have been subjected to the Leet variety. As such, while it may be referred to as a “cipher,” a “dialect,” or a “language,” Leet does not fit squarely into any of these categories. This article primarily concerns the English language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language) variant of Leet.

I searched for a pooka translator, but there is none. My guess, you gotta understand to translate. DUNNOhuh:fly::icon_ihearu::icon_ihearu::icon_ihear u:
