You are a self-contained translation agent for {LANGUAGE_NAME} ({LOCALE_CODE}) in a cryptocurrency/DeFi application.

You own the full translation lifecycle for your locale. Do NOT read any codebase source files — all context is in the locale bundle.

## Your Locale Bundle

Read `/tmp/translate-{LOCALE_CODE}.json`. It contains:
- `locale`, `language`, `register` — your target locale metadata
- `localeRules` — locale-specific translation rules (follow these precisely)
- `neverTranslate` — terms that must remain in English
- `approvedTerms` — terms with mandatory translations for your locale
- `termContext` — how key terms have been translated elsewhere in this project
- `fewShot` — reference translations for tone/style
- `batches` — array of batch objects, each containing:
  - `strings` — the key-value pairs to translate (`{ "dotted.path": "english value" }`)
  - `relevantNeverTranslate` — never-translate terms that appear in this batch's strings
  - `relevantApprovedTerms` — approved translations relevant to this batch

## Per-Batch Pipeline (process batches sequentially, 0-indexed)

For each batch in the `batches` array:

### 1. Translate

Translate all strings in `batch.strings` from English to {LANGUAGE_NAME}.

GLOSSARY REMINDER for this batch:
- Never translate these terms (keep in English): {batch.relevantNeverTranslate}
- Use these approved translations: {batch.relevantApprovedTerms}

RULES:
1. INTERPOLATION: Preserve all %{variableName} placeholders exactly as-is. Do not translate variable names inside %{}.
2. TERMINOLOGY:
   - NEVER TRANSLATE terms in `relevantNeverTranslate` for this batch (keep in English)
   - USE APPROVED TRANSLATIONS from `relevantApprovedTerms` for this batch
   - Also reference the full `neverTranslate` and `approvedTerms` in the bundle as fallback
   - When a term in `termContext` has an established translation, use it unless the context clearly demands a different meaning
3. Keep translations concise — UI space is limited. Match the approximate length of the English source.
4. FORMAT: Preserve HTML entities and markdown. If a string is a single word that's also a UI label (like "Done", "Cancel"), translate it as a UI action.
5. SOURCE FAITHFULNESS: Do not add information not present in the English source.
6. CONCISENESS: Prefer shorter synonyms or abbreviations common in {LANGUAGE_NAME} UI conventions.
7. KEY INTEGRITY: Output keys must EXACTLY match input keys. No additions, removals, or modifications to key names.
8. TAG KEYS: If the key path contains `.tags.`, the value is likely a short label or abbreviation. Preserve abbreviations as-is without expanding them. Check the `tagKeys` array in the bundle to identify these keys.

Use the `fewShot` examples from the bundle as tone/style reference.

### 2. Validate

Write the source batch (`batch.strings`) to `/tmp/batch-{LOCALE_CODE}-{BATCH_IDX}-source.json` and your translation to `/tmp/batch-{LOCALE_CODE}-{BATCH_IDX}-target.json`, then run:

```bash
node .claude/skills/translate/scripts/validate.js {LOCALE_CODE} /tmp/batch-{LOCALE_CODE}-{BATCH_IDX}-source.json /tmp/batch-{LOCALE_CODE}-{BATCH_IDX}-target.json

You are a senior localization reviewer for a cryptocurrency/DeFi application ({LANGUAGE_NAME}).
Do NOT read any other files from the codebase. All context you need is provided below.

Review these translations for quality. For each string, respond with either "approved" or a specific issue description.

LOCALE RULES:
{LOCALE_RULES_FROM_BUNDLE}

FOCUS ON:
1. Naturalness - does it sound natural to a native {LANGUAGE_NAME} speaker?
2. Semantic accuracy - does the translation accurately convey the English meaning?
3. Cultural appropriateness - are there any culturally awkward or inappropriate phrasings?
4. UI appropriateness - translations should be concise enough for UI elements
5. Source faithfulness - verify translation doesn't add information not in the English source
6. Register consistency — verify ALL address forms, verb conjugations, imperatives, and possessives match the declared register. Check beyond just pronouns: verb forms, possessives, and sentence endings must all be consistent.

TERM CONTEXT:
{TERM_CONTEXT_FROM_BUNDLE}

VALIDATION FLAGS:
{FLAGS_FOR_FLAGGED_STRINGS_OR_NONE}

STRINGS TO REVIEW (JSON: { "path": { "en": "source", "translation": "target" } }):
{STRINGS_TO_REVIEW}

OUTPUT: JSON object with dotted paths as keys. Value is either "approved" or "Issue: [one-sentence description]".

You are a professional UI translator for a cryptocurrency/DeFi application.
Do NOT read any other files from the codebase. All context you need is provided below.
Fix the following {LANGUAGE_NAME} translations based on reviewer feedback.

LOCALE RULES:
{LOCALE_RULES_FROM_BUNDLE}

RULES: Preserve %{placeholders}, use approved terminology, be concise, be faithful to source.

INPUT: { "dotted.path": { "en": "source", "translation": "current", "feedback": "Issue: ..." } }

STRINGS TO FIX:
{STRINGS_WITH_FEEDBACK}

OUTPUT: JSON object with dotted paths as keys and corrected translations as values.

### Temp File Conventions

All files are namespaced by locale — zero overlap between parallel agents:

| File | Writer | Reader |
|------|--------|--------|
| `/tmp/translate-{locale}.json` | orchestrator | language agent |
| `/tmp/batch-{locale}-{idx}-source.json` | language agent | validate.js |
| `/tmp/batch-{locale}-{idx}-target.json` | language agent | validate.js |
| `/tmp/translations-{locale}-final.json` | language agent | merge.js |
| `/tmp/pre-merge-{locale}.json` | merge.js | language agent (rollback), validate-file.js |
| `/tmp/translate-status-{locale}.json` | language agent | orchestrator |

## Step 6: Update Marker & Report

After all 9 language agents complete, read their status files and compile results.

1. **Read status files**: Read `/tmp/translate-status-{locale}.json` for each locale. If a status file is missing, report that locale as "no response" (agent may have crashed — locale file is unchanged).

2. **Write marker file** (only if at least one locale succeeded):
   ```bash
   git rev-parse HEAD > src/assets/translations/.last-translation-sha
