/**
 * Translates validation constraints into an output form.
 *
 * <p>The format of the output is implementation-dependant. For example, given message value,
 * a translator may perform validation and output any found {@linkplain ConstraintViolation
 * violations}. Another example would be printing validation code in a target language (e.g. Java).
 *
 * <p>A instance of {@code ConstraintTranslator} should only be used for a single type of messages.
 * A translator need not be thread-safe. An instance of translator is, most likely, a mutable
 * object. If any resources must be closed when finishing the translation job, {@link #translate()}
 * is the right place to do so.
