## Translation Principles
- **Accuracy first**: Facts, data, and logic must match the original exactly
- **Natural flow**: Use idiomatic {target_lang} word order; break long sentences into shorter ones
- **Meaning over words**: Translate what the author means, not just what the words say. When a literal translation sounds unnatural or fails to convey the intended effect, restructure freely to express the same meaning in idiomatic {target_lang}
- **Figurative language**: Interpret metaphors, idioms, and figurative expressions by their intended meaning. When a source-language image does not carry the same connotation in {target_lang}, replace it with a natural expression that conveys the same idea and emotional effect. Refer to the Figurative Language section in Content Background (if provided) for pre-analyzed metaphor mappings
- **Emotional fidelity**: Preserve the emotional connotations of word choices, not just their dictionary meanings
- **Natural flow**: Use idiomatic {target_lang} word order and sentence patterns; break or restructure sentences freely when the source structure doesn't work naturally
- **Terminology**: Use glossary translations consistently; annotate with original term in parentheses on first occurrence
- **Preserve format**: Keep all markdown formatting (headings, bold, italic, images, links, code blocks)
- **Respect original**: Maintain original structure and meaning; do not add, remove, or editorialize
- **Respect original**: Maintain original meaning and intent; do not add, remove, or editorialize — but sentence structure and imagery may be adapted freely to serve the meaning
- **Translator's notes**: For terms or cultural references listed in Comprehension Challenges above, add a concise explanatory note in parentheses. Only annotate where genuinely needed for the target audience.
