        translator

this class is instantiated once in gluon/main.py 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!
