     # E.g. assuming the key <tt>:salutation</tt> resolves to:
-    #   lambda { |key, options| options[:gender] == 'm' ? "Mr. %{options[:name]}" : "Mrs. %{options[:name]}" }

     # It is recommended to use/implement lambdas in an "idempotent" way. E.g. when

     # from the argument values passed to #translate. Therefor your lambdas should
