public interface QueryTranslatorFactory {
	
Construct a QueryTranslator instance capable of translating an HQL query string. 
Params:
queryIdentifier – The query-identifier (used in QueryStatistics collection). This is typically the same as the queryString parameter except for the case of split polymorphic queries which result in multiple physical sql queries.
queryString – The query string to be translated
filters – Currently enabled filters
factory – The session factory.
entityGraphQueryHint – 
Returns:
an appropriate translator./**
