I am encountering an issue where the route parameter in my Mezzio application seems to be causing errors due to unintended **translation** behavior.

Here is my route configuration for editing a `Locale`:

```auto
// Edit Locale Route
[
    'name' => 'web.locales.edit',
    'path' => '/locales/edit/{id:\d+}',
    'middleware' => [
        Mezzio\Session\SessionMiddleware::class,
        Mezzio\Csrf\CsrfMiddleware::class,
        \Web\Locales\LocalesEditHandler::class,
    ],
    'allowed_methods' => ['GET', 'POST'],
],

```

The problem occurs when the `{id}` parameter is included in the route path. Specifically:

- If I change the route to `/locales/edit` (without `{id}`), the route works fine.
- When `{id}` is added as a dynamic segment, I encounter an error: **“No Translator provided”**.

I am using:

- **Mezzio** with **Laminas\Router** (and Laminas\I18n installed)
- Dynamic route matching with **`Segment`** type
- Translator is configured (likely through Laminas\I18n)

### **What I’ve Tried** :

1. I ensured that the route itself does not include translatable content.
2. I tested removing Laminas\I18n entirely, but the problem persisted.
3. I attempted switching to the **`Literal`** route type instead of `Segment`, but this doesn’t solve the issue since `Literal` routes do not support dynamic parameters.

* * *

### **Questions** :

1. Is there a way to **prevent the translator** from affecting the route parameters like `{id}`?
2. Is this a configuration issue with Laminas\I18n or the router setup?
3. How can I explicitly disable translation for a specific route or ensure dynamic segments like `{id}` are treated as plain route parameters?

* * *

### **Environment** :

- **Mezzio** : 3.x
- **Laminas\Router** : Latest
- **Laminas\I18n** : Installed
- PHP: 8.1.x

Any guidance on how to resolve this issue or prevent the translator from interfering with dynamic route parameters would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Instead of `{id}` try to use `:id`.
