| Sep 29, 2015 at 15:14 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | It sounds like you're taking the terms "Assembler" and "Entity Translator" too literally. Those are just words that describe a concept; it's more important to understand the concept than it is to use the "right" word. I've heard them called "Mappers" as well; in fact, there's a library called Automapper that does just that. Focus on the concepts, not the terminology. | |
