Sitecore PowerShell extensions - 404 Not found error

I was recently working on a client's project running Sitecore 8.1 Update 3 and I needed to do some bulk item changes.

What I ended up doing was adding a processor to the GetTranslation pipeline as Steven Karrmann recommended in the community forums.
