The ModelTranslator type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	ModelTranslator	Initializes a new instance of the ModelTranslator class by using the provided definition.

	Name	Description
	CompatibilityLevel	Gets the level of translation for this translator.
	DatabaseSchemaProvider	Gets the associated database schema provider.
	DataLossPossible	Gets a value that indicates whether the translation may cause data loss.
	Definition	Gets the associated translator definition.
	ExtensionHandle	Gets the handle for the inherent data schema extension.

	Name	Description
	CanTranslateTo(Type)	Returns a value that indicates whether the translator can translate to the provided type.
	CanTranslateTo(DatabaseSchemaProvider)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	FindTranslators(DatabaseSchemaProvider, Type, IList<DataSchemaError>%)
	FindTranslators(ExtensionManager, Type, IList<DataSchemaError>%)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	InstantiateCopiedModel	Returns the source data schema model as an instantiated object.
	InstantiateTranslatedModel	Returns the target model as an instantiated object.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	SetExtensionHandle	Sets the handle for this extension object.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Translate	Translates the source model schema to the target model schema by using the provided source model.

At the next level from this base is a base translator class for a kind of schema, such as the DataSchemaModelTranslator class.

Notes to Inheritors

When you inherit from ModelTranslatorCompatibilityLevel, you must override the following members:

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
