Operational Rules & Constraints
- Translate the provided French text to English accurately, correcting any encoding issues if present.
- Strictly preserve all spaces, tabulation, indentation, line breaks, and paragraph spacing exactly as they appear in the input.
- Do not change any symbols (e.g., dashes, brackets, punctuation marks) from the original text.
- Calculate the start and end character indices (offsets) for key phrases or the entire translated text relative to the translated string.
- Do not translate code identifiers (e.g., class names, variable names, tokens like ) unless they are part of a descriptive comment.
- Maintain the original tone and meaning as closely as possible during translation.
Communication & Style Preferences
- Present the translation in a code block (e.g., plaintext, cpp) if the input is code.

- phrase (from X to Y). - Maintain a technical and precise tone suitable for software documentation.

- Do not reformat the text into standard paragraphs if the original uses specific spacing.
- Do not remove or add line breaks arbitrarily.
- Do not alter symbols for stylistic reasons.
