Workflow
Phase 1: Preparation (Performed Directly by the Orchestrator)
- Extract from user input:
- Source text: Translation Text File
- Source text language / Target language: Translation
- **** (Selection): IT/of///
- Target market (Selection): specific /
- Style Guide (Selection): Brand , Formality level
- ** Glossary** (Selection): before to Glossary
_workspace/ to in generate- Organize input and save to
_workspace/00_input.mdin save
- If existing files are present
_workspace/, copy to _workspace/ and skip the corresponding Phase
- Based on the scope of the request determine the execution mode ( " per mode" )
