For example, it is unspecified for “file” URLs how to map the byte sequences that constitute the path segments of a “file” URL to filenames on a given platform: The UNO environment always assumes that path segments of “file” URLs represent UTF-8–encoded strings (which have to be mapped to filenames in a platform-specific way), while other applications typically assume that path segments of “file” URLs directly represent a platform's byte-sequence filenames. This interface offers methods to translate between such <dfn>internal</dfn> URIs (e.g., UTF-8–encoded “file” URLs used within the UNO environment) and <dfn>external</dfn> URIs (e.g., byte-sequence–oriented “file” URLs used by other applications). Typically, only “file” URLs are affected by this translation.</p> <p>Since the translation process is based on URI schemes, relative URI references (that do not include a scheme) are left unmodified by the translation process.</p> </dd> <dt><b/></dt> <dd/></dl> </td> </tr> </table> <hr> <a name="MethodsSummary"/><table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="subtitle"> <tr> <td class="subtitle" colspan="2">Methods' Summary</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="imsum_left"><a href="#translateToInternal">translateToInternal</a></td> <td class="imsum_right">returns the internal counterpart of an external URI reference. </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="imsum_left"><a href="#translateToExternal">translateToExternal</a></td> <td class="imsum_right">returns the external counterpart of an internal URI reference. </td> </tr> </table> <a name="MethodsDetails"/><table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="subtitle"> <tr> <td class="subtitle">Methods' Details</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="imdetail"><a name="translateToInternal" class="membertitle">translateToInternal</a><table border="0" width="96%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="table-in-method" bgcolor="#ffffff" align="center"> <tr> <td><table class="table-in-method" border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" colspan="3">string</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><b>translateToInternal</b>(</td> <td valign="top">[in] string</td> <td valign="bottom"> externalUriReference );</td> </tr> </table> <hr> <dl> <dt><b>Description</b></dt> <dd>returns the internal counterpart of an external URI reference. </dd> <dt><b>Parameter externalUriReference</b></dt> <dd>an external URI reference. </dd> <dt><b>Returns</b></dt> <dd>the internal counterpart of the given external URI reference.
