Compiling and Transpiling

Compiling is the general term for taking source code written in one language and transforming into another language.
Transpiling is a specific term for taking source code written in one language and transforming into another language that has a similar level of abstraction. It is a specific kind of compiling.

So when we compile C#, your method bodies are transformed by the compiler into IL. This cannot be called transpiling because the two languages are very different levels of abstraction.

When you compile TypeScript, it is transformed by the compiler into JavaScript. These are very similar levels of abstraction, so you could call this transpiling.

Both compilers and transpilers can optimise the code as part of the process.

Other examples of transpiling include C++ to C, CoffeeScript to JavaScript, SASS/LESS to CSS, PHP to C++ etc.

Magento js validation message translation

Magento includes the translator library to translate the js messages that appear on our site. The translator js is already included at the head. To translate our messages, we just need to add the text to transator. For eg: This translator code needs to be added on our phtml file.  Translator.add('Select a color.', "<?php echo $this->__('Select a color.');?>"); Then we need to add the text to translate at locale file i.e translate.csv at the locale folder. However, this will not work for prototype js validation messages that appear on checkout pages. e.g. "This is a required field." etc. To translate these validation messages, we need to we’ll override Magento’s validate method. For that, we need to create an external js file and place it under js folder. For eg: js/lib/translatejs.js Validation.addAllThese([     ['validate-no-html-tags', Translator.translate('HTML tags are not allowed'), function(v) ...
