[Validator] Integrated the Translator in the Validator component
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: yes
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: #5844, #6117

This PR allows to replace the default message substitution strategy in the validator (`strtr()`) by passing an implementation of `Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface`. The motivation for this are both #5844 and the need to replace the translation strategy in Drupal's integration of the Validator.
In the stand-alone usage of the validator, both the translator and the default translation domain can now be passed to `ValidatorBuilderInterface`:
```php
$validator = Validation::createValidatorBuilder()
->setTranslator(new MyTranslator())
->setTranslationDomain('validators')
->getValidator();
```

no BC break? Looking at ValidatorBuilderInterface there is definitely one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ValidatorBuilderInterface is not part of the stable API. You are not supposed to implement this interface.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Tobion at 2012-11-28T09:01:07Z
We're not only documenting bc breaks for stable API, otherwise we could remove 90% of the upgrade file since few methods are tagged with API.
An interface that nobody should implement?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question is what to consider a BC break. Something will always break for someone. Should we consequently mark everything as BC break? I don't think so.
For example, since 2.1, you are supposed to use `Validation::createValidator*()` for creating a validator. Because of that, I won't consider changing the constructor signature of `Validator` a BC break anymore from 2.1 on.
The same for the unstable interfaces. These are currently meant to be used only, that is, type hint against them and call their methods. But we don't guarantee that we won't add methods to them.

I agree that almost any change could be considered a BC break. So we probably need to better define what a BC break is and what not. Otherwise Symfony will stop evolving after 2.3 because from then on Fabien wanted to prevent BC breaks which is almost impossible in a strict definition of bc break.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

BC breaks should always be documented, and we guarantee BC only for things tagged with @api. I'm going to update the docs to make things clearer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@fabpot I documented these changes now in the CHANGELOG: af99ebb1206ac92889b7193ba1ecc12bf2617e85
Are we sure we want to document *all* BC breaks from now on, even in non-@api code? This could rather scare people looking at our changelogs (lots of BC BREAKS there).

Unfortunately, it turns out the symfony translator interface does not mach the Drupal translation system as well as we initally thought, see http://drupal.org/node/1852106. Given that, this would integrating the validator component into Drupal even harder, because it introduces the dependency on the (unwanted) translation component. :(
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If this does not help Drupal anyway, maybe #5844 is a better way to manage translations for people using the validator outside forms ?
and the Drupal guys would simply follow a similar approach, but based on their own translator instead of the symfony one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fago at 2012-11-28T18:50:12Z
Yeah. The only problem I see with the approach of #5844 is that *after* validation only the translated messages are available. We'd need to have access to the untranslated messages also.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fago at 2012-11-29T09:49:47Z
As our translation system handles translating pluralized messages differently, the current ExecutionContextInterface::addViolation() method poses a problem also. We need to pass on - both the single and plural - message, as the message gets chosen during translation, see http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!includes!common.inc/function/format_plural/8
So maybe, we could allow adding an already created ConstraintViolation object also? Then, we could implement a "PluralConstraintViolation" class that takes both message templates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by bschussek at 2012-12-03T15:52:36Z
I updated this PR to support pluralized messages by default in the validator. This should solve the problem of the Drupal guys, because their implementation of `TranslatorInterface::transChoice($id, $number, ...)` can now simply split the $id by pipes (`|`) and pass the parts to their own `format_plural($count, $singular, $plural, ...)` function.
For us, it breaks BC because translation catalog sources had to be adapted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the XLF files are broken (the end is missing now).
IIUC, we now have a hard dependency on the Translation component, which is something we wanted to avoid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2012-12-03T16:27:56Z
Oops, clicked on the "comment" button too fast.
So, the dependency is hard (you need to install the dep) but light as we only rely on the translation interface from the component (when using the default translator). It looks acceptable to me, especially because we now use Composer to manage dependencies.

@fabpot Thanks for the hint. Going to fix this.

@fabpot Fixed.

Is there anything missing for this PR to be merged?
