Directory Structure

translate-files/<topic>/<article>/
  source.dj      — Chinese original
  target.dj      — English translation (match source line count)
  bilingual.dj   — interleaved (source line, blank, target line, blank)

.docx output → /tmp/. Don't commit binaries.

Translation Workflow

Load dharma-translation and terms-search skills
Search terms DB with search.py for key terms before translating
Translate directly — agent IS the model, no external APIs
Write target.dj, match source line count exactly
TOC: bullet list, no link targets. No page numbers.
Create bilingual.dj (interleave source/target lines)
