    module TranslationHelper
      # Delegates to I18n#translate but also performs three additional functions. First, it'll catch MissingTranslationData exceptions 
      # and turn them into inline spans that contains the missing key, such that you can see in a view what is missing where.
      #
      # Second, it'll scope the key by the current partial if the key starts with a period. So if you call translate(".foo") from the
      # people/index.html.erb template, you'll actually be calling I18n.translate("people.index.foo"). This makes it less repetitive
      # to translate many keys within the same partials and gives you a simple framework for scoping them consistently. If you don't
      # prepend the key with a period, nothing is converted.
      #
      # Third, it’ll mark the translation as safe HTML if the key has the suffix "_html" or the last element of the key is the word 
      # "html". For example, calling translate("footer_html") or translate("footer.html") will return a safe HTML string that won’t 
      # be escaped by other HTML helper methods. This naming convention helps to identify translations that include HTML tags so that 
      # you know what kind of output to expect when you call translate in a template.
