Translates a message to the specified language.

This is a shortcut method of [[\yii\i18n\I18N::translate()]].

The translation will be conducted according to the message category and the target language will be used.

You can add parameters to a translation message that will be substituted with the corresponding value after
translation. The format for this is to use curly brackets around the parameter name as you can see in the following example:

```php
$username = 'Alexander';
echo \Yii::t('app', 'Hello, {username}!', ['username' => $username]);
```

Further formatting of message parameters is supported using the [PHP intl extensions](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/intro.intl.php)
message formatter. See [[\yii\i18n\I18N::translate()]] for more details.

@param string $category the message category.
@param string $message the message to be translated.
@param array $params the parameters that will be used to replace the corresponding placeholders in the message.
@param string $language the language code (e.g. `en-US`, `en`). If this is null, the current
[[\yii\base\Application::language|application language]] will be used.
@return string the translated message.
