# Translator/I18n
The translator plugin provides automatic translation of the templates using Gettext, Fast-Gettext or Rails I18n. Static text
in the template is replaced by the translated version.
Example:
h1 Welcome to #{url}!
Gettext translates the string from english to german where interpolations are replaced by %1, %2, ...
"Welcome to %1!" -> "Willkommen auf %1!"
and renders as
<h1>Willkommen auf github.com/slim-template/slim!</h1>
Enable the translator plugin with
require 'slim/translator'
# Options
| Type | Name | Default | Purpose |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | ------- |
| Boolean | :tr | true | Enable translator (Enabled if 'slim/translator' is required) |
| Symbol | :tr_mode | :dynamic | When to translate: :static = at compile time, :dynamic = at runtime |
| String | :tr_fn | Depending on installed translation library | Translation function, could be '_' for gettext |
