Translator (Apache TinkerPop 3.7.1-SNAPSHOT API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

Translator.ScriptTranslator, Translator.StepTranslator<S,T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

DotNetTranslator, GolangTranslator, GroovyTranslator, JavascriptTranslator, JavaTranslator, PythonTranslator
```
public interface Translator<S,T>
```
A Translator will translate Bytecode into another representation. That representation may be a Java instance via Translator.StepTranslator or a String script in some language via Translator.ScriptTranslator. The parameterization of Translator is S (traversal source) and T (full translation).

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Interface	Description

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`String`	`getTargetLanguage()`	Get the language that the translator is converting the traversal byte code to.
`S`	`getTraversalSource()`	Get the `TraversalSource` representation rooting this translator.
`T`	`translate(Bytecode bytecode)`	Translate `Bytecode` into a new representation.
`default T`	`translate(Traversal<?,?> t)`	Translates a `Traversal` into the specified form

- Method Detail
  - getTraversalSource
```
S getTraversalSource()
```
    Get the TraversalSource representation rooting this translator. For string-based translators (Translator.ScriptTranslator), this is typically a "g". For java-based translators (Translator.StepTranslator), this is typically the TraversalSource instance which the Traversal will be built from.
    
    Returns:
    
    the traversal source representation
  - translate
```
T translate(Bytecode bytecode)
```
    Translate Bytecode into a new representation. Typically, for language translations, the translation is to a string representing the traversal in the respective scripting language.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytecode - the bytecode representing traversal source and traversal manipulations.
    
    Returns:
    
    the translated object
  - translate
```
default T translate(Traversal<?,?> t)
```
    Translates a Traversal into the specified form
  - getTargetLanguage
```
String getTargetLanguage()
```
    Get the language that the translator is converting the traversal byte code to.
    
    Returns:
    
    the language of the translation
