        """Returns a translation of src according to the user's current
        locale.

        This is the main function used to localize an application.
        Instead of using an English string directly, an applicaton can
        pass the English string through `translate` and use the result.
        If an application is written for a single language in this
        fashion, then it is easy to add support for additional languages
        later simply by defining new message catalog entries.

        Parameters:

            src (str):
                The string to be translated.

        Returns:
