What it asks you for

Videorequired
Source video (or its .srt).
Target languagerequired
Language to translate into.

What it tells the AI to do

The full instructions, exactly as they run.

Translate the captions of {{ video }} into {{ language }}.

Keep the ORIGINAL timings. Translation changes line length, so re-flow the text
inside each existing cue rather than re-timing: a translated caption that drifts
off its speaker is worse than a slightly cramped one.

Where the translation genuinely will not fit a cue at a readable rate (~17
characters/second), split the cue rather than shrinking the font. Deliver the
new `.srt` and keep the original alongside it.
## Delivery

Write the finished artifact into Drive. Never upload a user's content to a
third-party file host (`0x0.st`, `catbox.moe`, `transfer.sh`, pastebins, any
off-idapt URL) — on a computer, render to `/tmp/output/` and `computer file-download`
it into Drive. If you catch yourself reaching for `curl -F`, stop: you already
hold the artifact.
