2. GSoC'26 - Translator Feedback Loop [Week Report #9]

   For an overview of how things are going, see the Kanban board of the project

   ---

   Done this week:

    

   - Built RAG: published translation rules are now retrieved and injected into the translation prompt, so the machine translation follows them (#7, #8, merged).
   - Retrieval works in three tiers: flatten the item's text, one indexed query for the published rules of the target language, then whole word matching, capped so the prompt stays bounded.
   - Live tested it in German across terminology, relevance, the published state gate, preservation and tone.
   - Extended the association backfill to categories, tags and menu items (merged).
   - Improved the translation rule form: the fields shown match the rule type, requiredness is enforced on save, and manual rules are recorded as such (merged, #104).
   - Merged re-translation
