The universal `gofeed.Parser` works in 3 stages: detection, parsing and translation. It first detects the feed type that it is currently parsing. Then it uses a feed specific parser to parse the feed into its true representation which will be either a `rss.Feed` or `atom.Feed`. These models cover every field possible for their respective feed types. Finally, they are *translated* into a `gofeed.Feed` model that is a hybrid of both feed types. Performing the universal feed parsing in these 3 stages allows for more flexibility and keeps the code base more maintainable by separating RSS and Atom parsing into seperate packages.

The translation step is done by anything which adheres to the `gofeed.Translator` interface. The `DefaultRSSTranslator` and `DefaultAtomTranslator` are used behind the scenes when you use the `gofeed.Parser` with its default settings. You can see how they translate fields from ```atom.Feed``` or ```rss.Feed``` to the universal ```gofeed.Feed``` struct in the [Default Mappings](#default-mappings) section. However, should you disagree with the way certain fields are translated you can easily supply your own `gofeed.Translator` and override this behavior. See the [Advanced Usage](#advanced-usage) section for an example how to do this.
