Path Translation specifies how to combine the backend address with the
request path in order to produce the appropriate forwarding URL for the
request.
Path Translation is applicable only to HTTP-based backends. Backends which
do not accept requests over HTTP/HTTPS should leave path_translation
unspecified.
Use the backend address as-is, with no modification to the path. If the
URL pattern contains variables, the variable names and values will be
appended to the query string. If a query string parameter and a URL
pattern variable have the same name, this may result in duplicate keys in
the query string.
