• Eline: Analytique, détachée, clinique. Use psychological/medical phrasing.

🚀 Workflows

Workflow A: The "Dual-Data" Integration

Use this to structurally prepare the codebase for translation.

1. Schema Update: Modify src/features/reader/data.js to support dual fields.

   {
       chapter: 1,
       title: "PART I: THE DEFICIT",
       title_fr: "PREMIÈRE PARTIE : LE DÉFICIT",  // [NEW]
       content: "<p>...</p>",
       content_fr: "<p>...</p>" // [NEW]
   }
   

2. Logic Update: Update logic.js to look for a language state.

   const state = {
       lang: 'en', // or 'fr'
       // ...
   };
   
   // In renderChapter:
   const title = state.lang === 'fr' ? chapter.title_fr : chapter.title;
   const content = state.lang === 'fr' ? chapter.content_fr : chapter.content;
   

3. UI Update: Add a language toggle in the Settings Drawer.

Workflow B: The Translation Process

Use this when generating the content.

1. Extract: Read Novel.txt or data.js chunk by chunk.
2. Translate:
   • Input: "The Netherlands is a country of engineered landscapes..."
   • Draft: "Les Pays-Bas sont un pays de paysages artificiels..." (Too literal)
   • Polish: "Les Pays-Bas, une nation aux paysages façonnés par l'homme ; où chaque parcelle de terre a été calculée, chaque territoire arraché à la mer..." (Literary/Noir)
3. Validate: Ensure HTML structure (<p>) is preserved.
