A set of PHP interfaces and abstractions for translation, extracted from the Symfony framework's translation component. It lets libraries depend on stable, battle-tested semantics for translation without coupling to a specific Symfony implementation.

Use cases

• decouple my PHP library from the Symfony translator implementation
• type-hint against a standard translation interface in PHP
• make my package interoperable with Symfony translation
• add i18n abstractions to a framework-agnostic PHP app
• swap translation implementations without changing consuming code
• define a contract for translatable messages in PHP

When to choose

• you are building a PHP library or bundle that needs translation support without a hard dependency on symfony/translation
• you want interoperability with the Symfony ecosystem's translation semantics
• you need stable interfaces to program against while allowing different translator backends

When to avoid

• you need an actual working translator with loaders, catalogs, and message formatting - use symfony/translation instead
• your project does not use PHP
• you only need translation inside a full Symfony application, where the component is already included
