Can't inherit abstract function Zend\Validator\Translator\TranslatorInterface::translate()

[ppeiris]

I get this error

Can't inherit abstract function Zend\Validator\Translator\TranslatorInterface::translate() (previously declared abstract in Zend\I18n\Translator\TranslatorInterface) in vendor/zendframework/zendframework/library/Zend/Mvc/I18n/Translator.php on line 16

I get the error when I run the code on mac using MAMP (php -v 5.4.17); however running the same code base on ubuntu with php -v 5.4.9 wont give any issues.

I fix the issue by commenting translate() in the Zend\I18n\Translator\TranslatorInterface.php. I assume, since its in the interface class and all the translator methods are already implemented, this (may) not effect the code.

@ppeiris May you're running the code from the CLI (Mac defaults is 5.3.x)

@DASPRiD May you should attend this.

This is a known issue on the develop branch for pre-5.3 versions of PHP; @DASPRiD has indicated he'll have something this week to correct the situation.

Basically: we have two TranslatorInterface definitions, one in Zend\I18n and one in Zend\Validator. Zend\Mvc\I18n\Translator is implementing both -- something that works fine starting in 5.4, but which causes issues in 5.3. The solution will most likely be to do a proxy or decorator.

"Fixed" in the develop branch by upping the minimum supported PHP version to 5.3.23 for the develop branch (upcoming 2.3.0).
