            translator

this class is instantiated by gluon.compileapp.build_environment as the T object

:

       T.force(None) # turns off translation
       T.force('fr, it') # forces web2py to translate using fr.py or it.py

       T("Hello World") # translates "Hello World" using the selected file

notice 1: there is no need to force since, by default, T uses accept_language to determine a translation file.

notice 2: en and en-en are considered different languages!

### __init__(self, request) (Constructor) | source code
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature Overrides: object.__init__ (inherited documentation)

### translate(self, message, symbols) | source code
user ## to add a comment into a translation string the comment can be useful do discriminate different possible translations for the same string (for example different locations) T(' hello world ') -> ' hello world ' T(' hello world ## token') -> 'hello world' T('hello ## world ## token') -> 'hello ## world' the ## notation is ignored in multiline strings and strings that start with ##. this is to allow markmin syntax to be translated
