Hey guys. After using this a little bit more I'm wondering if a
"manual" mode should be supported for i18n. I think the automatic
generation of keys is a great feature, and will be much more usable once
we address some of the false-positives (via the strategies we discussed
yesterday). That said, I think as a developer who is writing *both* the
templates and the errai app, I would prefer a fully-manual mode.
In other words, I would like to be able to flip a switch on my template
so that *only* the "data-i18n-key" approach is taken. So I would be
forced to add that attribute to anything I wanted translated.
For those of us who like fine-grained control, it seems like a nice option.
Thoughts?

It may turn out that automatic translation of everything is a bad idea. Or maybe a good
idea that's untenable.
If that's the case, maybe it's best to admit defeat and say you have to indicate
which elements are translatable in your template's markup.
Sometimes we need switches and knobs, but when one approach is sensible and the other is
not, why clutter things up with a switch? :-)

Fair enough, although I'm definitely not ready to admit defeat on the
auto-translation idea. Once we get rid of some of the false-positives
I'm hoping it's much more usable. The two things we discussed:
1) If an element is text-only (has no child elements) *and* it is mapped
to a @DataField, then assume it's dynamic and DOES NOT need translation.
Presumably can be overridden with a data-i18n-key attribute to force
translation.
2) Capability to mark sections of the template as "dummy content". This
was going to be more generic than just i18n - we can leverage this to
slim down templates possibly.
Any other rules to nuke false positives? I think those are the two
obvious ones I've run into so far.
