/**
 * @file
 * Internationalization / translation utility. The exported `gettext` (and its alias `_`) uses
 * a shared translator function that's set to `window.gettext` by default. If `window.gettext` isn't
 * available, the identify function is used, turning `gettext` and `_` into no-ops.
 *
 * Caution is advised when using `setSharedTranslator` and `resetSharedTranslator`. Always restore
 * the translator after changing it, and never assume that the translator hasn't been changed by
 * external code during long-running operations.
 *
 * If used in combination with Splunk Enterprise, `window.gettext` is provided by default. Using the `gettext`
 * and `_` syntax ensures that messages can be extracted, and a catalog file can be generated
 * automatically.
