# Translates, pluralizes and interpolates a given key using a given locale,

#
# *LOOKUP*
#
# Translation data is organized as a nested hash using the upper-level keys
# as namespaces. <em>E.g.</em>, ActionView ships with the translation:
# <tt>:date => {:formats => {:short => "%b %d"}}</tt>.
#
# Translations can be looked up at any level of this hash using the key argument
# and the scope option. <em>E.g.</em>, in this example <tt>I18n.t :date</tt>
# returns the whole translations hash <tt>{:formats => {:short => "%b %d"}}</tt>.
#
# Key can be either a single key or a dot-separated key (both Strings and Symbols
# work). <em>E.g.</em>, the short format can be looked up using both:
# I18n.t 'date.formats.short'
# I18n.t :'date.formats.short'
#
# Scope can be either a single key, a dot-separated key or an array of keys
# or dot-separated keys. Keys and scopes can be combined freely. So these
# examples will all look up the same short date format:
# I18n.t 'date.formats.short'
# I18n.t 'formats.short', :scope => 'date'
# I18n.t 'short', :scope => 'date.formats'
# I18n.t 'short', :scope => %w(date formats)
#
# *INTERPOLATION*
#
# Translations can contain interpolation variables which will be replaced by
# values passed to #translate as part of the options hash, with the keys matching
# the interpolation variable names.
#
# <em>E.g.</em>, with a translation <tt>:foo => "foo {{bar}}"</tt> the option
# value for the key +bar+ will be interpolated into the translation:
# I18n.t :foo, :bar => 'baz' # => 'foo baz'
#
# *PLURALIZATION*
#
# Translation data can contain pluralized translations. Pluralized translations
# are arrays of singluar/plural versions of translations like <tt>['Foo', 'Foos']</tt>.
#
# Note that <tt>I18n::Backend::Simple</tt> only supports an algorithm for English
# pluralization rules. Other algorithms can be supported by custom backends.
#
# This returns the singular version of a pluralized translation:
# I18n.t :foo, :count => 1 # => 'Foo'
#
# These both return the plural version of a pluralized translation:
# I18n.t :foo, :count => 0 # => 'Foos'
# I18n.t :foo, :count => 2 # => 'Foos'
#
# The <tt>:count</tt> option can be used both for pluralization and interpolation.
# <em>E.g.</em>, with the translation
# <tt>:foo => ['{{count}} foo', '{{count}} foos']</tt>, count will
# be interpolated to the pluralized translation:
# I18n.t :foo, :count => 1 # => '1 foo'
#
# *DEFAULTS*
#
# This returns the translation for <tt>:foo</tt> or <tt>default</tt> if no translation was found:
# I18n.t :foo, :default => 'default'
#
# This returns the translation for <tt>:foo</tt> or the translation for <tt>:bar</tt> if no
# translation for <tt>:foo</tt> was found:
# I18n.t :foo, :default => :bar
#
# Returns the translation for <tt>:foo</tt> or the translation for <tt>:bar</tt>
# or <tt>default</tt> if no translations for <tt>:foo</tt> and <tt>:bar</tt> were found.
# I18n.t :foo, :default => [:bar, 'default']
#
# <b>BULK LOOKUP</b>
#
# This returns an array with the translations for <tt>:foo</tt> and <tt>:bar</tt>.
# I18n.t [:foo, :bar]
#
# Can be used with dot-separated nested keys:
# I18n.t [:'baz.foo', :'baz.bar']
#
# Which is the same as using a scope option:
# I18n.t [:foo, :bar], :scope => :baz
