Re: translators in 5.2, and re-use as formatters

[Paul Stanton]

I also can't find any documentation regarding the config of Translators 
... ?

Hi,
in 5.0 you used to be able to define and refer to Translators by name:

    public static void 
contributeTranslatorSource(Configuration<Translator> configuration)
    {
        configuration.add(new MyTranslator("Decimal"));
        configuration.add(new MyTranslator("Decimal2Dp"));
    }

I could then use <t:textfield ... t:translator="Decimal" /> for example.

however in 5.2 you associate a translator to a type:

    public static void 
contributeTranslatorSource(MappedConfiguration<Class, Translator> 
configuration)
    {
        configuration.add(Date.class, new DateTranslator("Date"));
        configuration.add(Date.class, new DateTranslator("DateTime"));
    }

but this causes an exception:
Service contribution (to service 'TranslatorSource') conflicts with 
existing contribution

I assume because they are mapped to the same class.

How do I associate more than one Translator to a type?

Also, now that I have created all these fancy translators is there any 
way to use them as formatters as well?

so that I can do <t:output ... formatter="trans:Date" /> or similar?

thanks, p.

ps I can't find the 5.2 version of the userguides
