The translator plugin provides automatic translation of the templates using Gettext, Fast-Gettext or Rails I18n. Static text in the template is replaced by the translated version.
Example:
h1 Welcome to #{url}!
Gettext translates the string from english to german where interpolations are replaced by %1, %2, ...
"Welcome to %1!" -> "Willkommen auf %1!"
and renders as
<h1>Willkommen auf slim-lang.com!</h1>
Enable the translator plugin with
require 'slim/translator'

| Symbol | :tr_mode | :dynamic | When to translate: :static = at compile time, :dynamic = at runtime |
