/**
 * Adds translations to existing ones or overrides the existing translations. These translations will later
 * be available for the {@link module:utils/locale~Locale#t `t()`} function.
 *
 * The `translations` is an object which consists of `messageId: translation` pairs. Note that the message ID can be
 * either constructed from the message string or from the message ID if it was passed
 * (this happens rarely and mostly for short messages or messages with placeholders).
 * Since the editor displays only the message string, the message ID can be found either in the source code or in the
 * built translations for another language.
 *
 * ```ts
 * add( 'pl', {
 * 	'Cancel': 'Anuluj',
 * 	'IMAGE': 'obraz', // Note that the `IMAGE` comes from the message ID, while the string can be `image`.
 * } );
 * ```
 *
 * If the message is supposed to support various plural forms, make sure to provide an array with the singular form and all plural forms:
 *
 * ```ts
 * add( 'pl', {
 * 	'Add space': [ 'Dodaj spację', 'Dodaj %0 spacje', 'Dodaj %0 spacji' ]
 * } );
 * ```
 *
 * You should also specify the third argument (the `getPluralForm()` function) that will be used to determine the plural form if no
 * language file was loaded for that language. All language files coming from CKEditor 5 sources will have this option set, so
 * these plural form rules will be reused by other translations added to the registered languages. The `getPluralForm()` function
 * can return either a Boolean or a number.
 *
 * ```ts
 * add( 'en', {
 * 	// ... Translations.
 * }, n => n !== 1 );
 * add( 'pl', {
 * 	// ... Translations.
 * }, n => n == 1 ? 0 : n % 10 >= 2 && n % 10 <= 4 && ( n % 100 < 10 || n % 100 >= 20 ) ? 1 : 2 );
 * ```
 *
 * All translations extend the global `window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS` object. An example of this object can be found below:
 *
 * ```ts
 * {
 * 	pl: {
 * 		dictionary: {
 * 			'Cancel': 'Anuluj',
 * 			'Add space': [ 'Dodaj spację', 'Dodaj %0 spacje', 'Dodaj %0 spacji' ]
 * 		},
 * 		// A function that returns the plural form index.
 * 		getPluralForm: n => n == 1 ? 0 : n % 10 >= 2 && n % 10 <= 4 && ( n % 100 < 10 || n % 100 >= 20 ) ? 1 : 2 );
 * 	}
 * 	// Other languages.
 * 	}
 * ```
 *
 * If you cannot import this function from this module (e.g. because you use a CKEditor 5 build), you can
 * still add translations by extending the global `window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS` object by using a function like
 * the one below:
 *
 * ```ts
 * function addTranslations( language, translations, getPluralForm ) {
 * 	if ( !global.window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS ) {
 * 		global.window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS = {};
 * 	}

 * 	if ( !global.window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS[ language ] ) {
 * 		global.window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS[ language ] = {};
 * 	}
 *
 * 	const languageTranslations = global.window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS[ language ];
 *
 * 	languageTranslations.dictionary = languageTranslations.dictionary || {};
 * 	languageTranslations.getPluralForm = getPluralForm || languageTranslations.getPluralForm;
 *
 * 	// Extend the dictionary for the given language.
 * 	Object.assign( languageTranslations.dictionary, translations );
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @param language Target language.
 * @param translations An object with translations which will be added to the dictionary.
 * For each message ID the value should be either a translation or an array of translations if the message
 * should support plural forms.
 * @param getPluralForm A function that returns the plural form index (a number).

/**
 * **Note:** This method is internal, use {@link module:utils/locale~Locale#t the `t()` function} instead to translate
 * the editor UI parts.
 *
 * This function is responsible for translating messages to the specified language. It uses translations added perviously
 * by {@link module:utils/translation-service~add} (a translations dictionary and the `getPluralForm()` function
 * to provide accurate translations of plural forms).
 *
 * When no translation is defined in the dictionary or the dictionary does not exist, this function returns
 * the original message string or the message plural depending on the number of elements.
 *
 * ```ts
 * translate( 'pl', { string: 'Cancel' } ); // 'Cancel'
 * ```
 *
 * The third optional argument is the number of elements, based on which the single form or one of the plural forms
 * should be picked when the message is supposed to support various plural forms.
 *
 * ```ts
 * translate( 'en', { string: 'Add a space', plural: 'Add %0 spaces' }, 1 ); // 'Add a space'
 * translate( 'en', { string: 'Add a space', plural: 'Add %0 spaces' }, 3 ); // 'Add %0 spaces'
 * ```
 *
 * The message should provide an ID using the `id` property when the message strings are not unique and their
 * translations should be different.
 *
 * ```ts
 * translate( 'en', { string: 'image', id: 'ADD_IMAGE' } );
 * translate( 'en', { string: 'image', id: 'AN_IMAGE' } );
 * ```
 *
 * @internal
 * @param language Target language.
 * @param message A message that will be translated.
 * @param quantity The number of elements for which a plural form should be picked from the target language dictionary.
 * @param translations Translations passed in editor config, if not provided use the global `window.CKEDITOR_TRANSLATIONS`.
 * @returns Translated sentence.
