A helper which contains methods for creating and updating entities which implement the [Translatable](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/entities/interfaces#translatable) interface.

*Example*

```ts
export class MyService {
  constructor(private translatableSaver: TranslatableSaver) {}

  async create(ctx: RequestContext, input: CreateFacetInput): Promise<Translated<Facet>> {
    const facet = await this.translatableSaver.create({
      ctx,
      input,
      entityType: Facet,
      translationType: FacetTranslation,
      beforeSave: async f => {
          f.code = await this.ensureUniqueCode(ctx, f.code);
      },
    });
    return facet;
  }

  // ...
}
```

```ts title="Signature"
class TranslatableSaver {
    constructor(connection: TransactionalConnection)
    create(options: CreateTranslatableOptions<T>) => Promise<T>;
    update(options: UpdateTranslatableOptions<T>) => Promise<T>;
}
```
