-

-            - Set `requires_translation` to true when the title or body is primarily written in a

-              foreign-language quotations in an otherwise English issue as requiring translation.
-            - When translation is required, translate the complete title and body into clear,
-              faithful English without answering the issue, adding commentary, or summarizing it.
-            - Preserve Markdown structure, code blocks, inline code, URLs, @mentions, issue
-              references, and technical identifiers. Keep the translated title within GitHub's
-              256-character title limit.
-            - Return the complete English title and body in `translated_title` and
-              `translated_body`. Text that is already English should remain unchanged.
-            - When translation is not required, return empty strings for both translation fields.
