\ingroup translation

|
|
\brief Abstract class that defines the necessary functionality of a
|
|
translator.
|
|
|
|
BTranslator is the core class of the translation kit.
|
|
Every translator defines input and output data types it can work with. A
|
|
BTranslator uses BPositionIO as an abstraction for the data it operates on.
|
|
It is able to
|
|
decide wether incoming data is of any of its known input types and, upon
|
|
successful identification, translate it to any of its output formats. It
|
|
may also provide a config view that appears in the DataTranslations
|
|
preference app.
|
|
|
|
Usually, a translator is very specific. It only offers translations
|
|
between the format it was created for and the basic format for that media
|
|
type. As an example, the translator for GIF images only translates between
|
|
GIF images and bitmaps, the baseline format for images.
|
|
|
|
The function \c make_nth_translator enables add-ons to expose translators.
|
|
Communication between applications and BTranslators is carried
|
|
out by the BTranslatorRoster class.
|
|
|
|
\note Another option to create a translator is using a BFuncTranslator.
|
|
|
|
\remark In most cases it is easier to derive from BaseTranslator instead
|
|
of BTranslator. BaseTranslator provides a lot of functionality that is
|
|
common for most translators as well as a unified method to save settings
|
|
and routines for handling bitmaps.
