Answer 1

Tips from the Behavioral Extensions Doctrine , DoctrineExtensions and StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle documentation,

Translatable gives you a very convenient solution for translating records into different languages. In other words, it is a behavioral extension that works like some of the most commonly used behaviors, leaving domain objects as clean as possible. Annotations make it easy to understand the intended behavior of the properties of your objects.

A translator is an explicit way of processing translations, for example, here is the class used to process the object / property of a translation.
