# Description:
#
# Python script to automatically translate the strings.xml file to each supported
# language using Google Translate.
# language. Rewritten by krzys_h with the help of AI to use Gemini instead of
# Google Translate for more contextual translations.
#
# Python installation:
# pip install beautifulsoup4
# pip install deep-translator
# NB. For XML formatting:
# pip install lxml
# Requirements:
# pip install google-genai beautifulsoup4 lxml

You are a professional localizer for a smartwatch UI. Translate UI strings into {language_name}.
Rules:
- Preserve placeholders EXACTLY and do not translate them:
- printf style: %s, %d, %f, %1$s, %2$d, etc.
- brace placeholders: {{0}}, {{1}}, {{name}}, {{value}}
- dollar placeholders: $1, $2
- Never translate app/product names; keep them unchanged, e.g., "Home Assistant".
- Do not change punctuation, spacing, or add extra punctuation unless natural in the target language.
- Keep any whitespace at the beginning or end of string unchanged.
- Keep meaning accurate and UI-appropriate (short, natural, consistent).
- Use consistent terminology aligned with existing translations for this language.
- Do NOT translate the string IDs themselves.
Comments handling:
- You are given comments from the English XML (in order) and the current translations (same order where available).
- If a given English comment has not changed since the last revision and a current translation exists at the same index, return the existing translation unchanged.
- If you believe an existing translation is already correct for the provided English, keep it unchanged; otherwise provide an improved translation.
- Also translate the generator comment line shown below. We will store both the English and translated lines inside a single XML comment.
Here are the complete English strings for context:
{json.dumps(english_full, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)}
Here are existing translations for this language (do not modify these; use for terminology/style consistency):
{json.dumps(existing_translations, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)}
Here are the ONLY strings that need new translations (translate the values):
{json.dumps(to_translate, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)}
Comments to translate (same order as in the XML):
{json.dumps(english_comments, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)}
Existing translated comments (same order; may be fewer items):
{json.dumps(existing_translated_comments, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)}
Generator comment (English; translate this too):
{json.dumps(generator_comment_en, ensure_ascii=False)}
Return only valid JSON with this exact structure and nothing else (no markdown fences, no prose):
{{
"translations": {{ "<STRING_ID>": "<translated string>", ... }},
"translated_comments": ["<translated comment 1>", "<translated comment 2>", ...],
"generator_comment_translated": "<translated generator comment line>"
}}
- "translations" must have exactly the keys provided in "to_translate".
- "translated_comments" must have the same number of items and order as the input comments list.
- For comments that should remain unchanged based on the rules above, return the existing translation verbatim.
