Object which can translate a string into an object value. This is used to
translate attribute values (or element content) from strings into
numbers, booleans or other constructs before assigning the final value
to a propery. Translation occurs after symbol substitution.
Translator classes should have a public constructor that takes no
arguments. They may optionally have a second constructor
that takes a single string as a parameter. When the
DescriptorParser encounters
a translator of the form
"translator-id,initialization-string"
(example: "int,min=0") it will use the second constructor, passing
the initialization string.
Generally, initializion strings are of the form
key=value[,key=value]*.
Each initializer has a set of keys it recognizes, other keys are simply
ignored.
