Translation
===========
**Inherits:** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
**Inherited By:** :ref:`OptimizedTranslation<class_OptimizedTranslation>`
A language translation that maps a collection of strings to their individual translations.
.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group
Description
-----------
**Translation** maps a collection of strings to their individual translations, and also provides convenience methods for pluralization.
A **Translation** consists of messages. A message is identified by its context and untranslated string. Unlike `gettext <https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>`__, using an empty context string in Godot means not using any context.

The plural rules string to enforce. See `GNU gettext <https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html>`__ for examples and more info.
If empty or invalid, default plural rules from :ref:`TranslationServer.get_plural_rules()<class_TranslationServer_method_get_plural_rules>` are used. The English plural rules are used as a fallback.

Returns the keys of all messages, that is, the context and untranslated strings of each message.
\ **Note:** If a message does not use a context, the corresponding element is the untranslated string. Otherwise, the corresponding element is the context and untranslated string separated by the EOT character (``U+0004``). This is done for compatibility purposes.

Returns a message's translation involving plurals.
The number ``n`` is the number or quantity of the plural object. It will be used to guide the translation system to fetch the correct plural form for the selected language.
\ **Note:** Plurals are only supported in :doc:`gettext-based translations (PO) <../tutorials/i18n/localization_using_gettext>`, not CSV.
