Description

Tapestry should allow developer to override shipped default translators and add new ones. This should be done by allowing the configuration of the translator source, so that developers are not forced to use the translator tag on every field.

If you try to:
public void contributeTranslatorSource(MappedConfiguration<String, Translator> configuration)
{
configuration.add("double", new LocalizedDoubleTranslator());
}

It results in:
[WARN] TapestryModule.TranslatorSource Service contribution (to service 'TranslatorSource', by fi.abo.eblanketter.tapestry5.services.AppModule.contributeTranslatorSource(MappedConfiguration) (at AppModule.java:224)) conflicts with existing contribution (by org.apache.tapestry5.services.TapestryModule.contributeTranslatorSource(MappedConfiguration) (at TapestryModule.java:609)) and has been ignored.

Is it possible to assign alias to this translator to override it?
