  - ### translate

    public int translate(CharSequence input, int index, Writer writer) throws IOException
    The first translator to consume code points from the input is the 'winner'. Execution stops with the number of consumed code points being returned. Translate a set of code points, represented by an int index into a CharSequence, into another set of code points. The number of code points consumed must be returned, and the only IOExceptions thrown must be from interacting with the Writer so that the top level API may reliably ignore StringWriter IOExceptions.
    Specified by:
      `translate` in class `CharSequenceTranslator`
    Parameters:
      `input` - CharSequence that is being translated.
      `index` - int representing the current point of translation.
      `writer` - Writer to translate the text to.
    Returns:
      int count of code points consumed.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if and only if the Writer produces an IOException.
