## Method Details

### translate

public static String translate(String regexp) throws RegexSyntaxException
Translates a regular expression in the syntax of XML Schemas Part 2 into a regular expression in the syntax of `java.util.regex.Pattern`. The translation assumes that the string to be matched against the regex uses surrogate pairs correctly. If the string comes from XML content, a conforming XML parser will automatically check this; if the string comes from elsewhere, it may be necessary to check surrogate usage before matching.

Parameters:
  `regexp` - a String containing a regular expression in the syntax of XML Schemas Part 2
Returns:
  a String containing a regular expression in the syntax of java.util.regex.Pattern
Throws:
  `RegexSyntaxException` - if `regexp` is not a regular expression in the syntax of XML Schemas Part 2

Throws:
  `RegexSyntaxException`
