This class provides a way to translate dynamic data by keeping translations in a separate table linked to the original record from another one. Translated fields can be configured to override those in the main table when fetched or put aside into another property for the same entity.
If you wish to override fields, you need to call the locale
method in this behavior for setting the language you want to fetch from the translations table.
If you want to bring all or certain languages for each of the fetched records, you can use the custom translations
finder of TranslateBehavior
that is exposed to the table.

Constructor
Deletes a single config key.
Reads a config key.
Writes a config key.
Unsets the temporary _i18n
property after the entity has been saved
Callback method that listens to the beforeFind
event in the bound table. It modifies the passed query by eager loading the translated fields and adding a formatter to copy the values into the main table records.
Modifies the entity before it is saved so that translated fields are persisted in the database too.
Build a set of properties that should be included in the marshalling process.
Helper method used to generated multiple translated field entities out of the data found in the _translations
property in the passed entity. The result will be put into its _i18n
property.
Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config()
which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.
Convenience method to get a table instance.
Returns the ids found for each of the condition arrays passed for the translations table. Each records is indexed by the corresponding position to the conditions array.
Returns the config.
Returns the config for this specific key.
Returns the current locale.
Gets the table locator.
Return translation table instance.
Modifies the results from a table find in order to merge full translation records into each entity under the _translations
key.
Modifies the results from a table find in order to merge the translated fields into each entity for a given locale.
Sets the config.
Sets the locale to be used.
Sets the table locator.
Creates the associations between the bound table and every field passed to this method.
Returns a fully aliased field name for translated fields.
Unset empty translations to avoid persistence.
