i18n

public Representer i18n(Object in)
                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: TranslatorInterface

The usage of this method (in implementing classes) would be to translate text from the user-interface input file to the output. A simple example is that the implementation of this method will translate 'back' to 'terug' since my dictionairy says that that is the translation for my locale.

Most i18n implementions do the translation of strings at runtime.

Specified by:

i18n in interface TranslatorInterface

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - this method only takes strings; but since this method will most certainly be used in combination with Hashtable we allow Object to shorten the code.
