kapi translate

$ kapi translate [files...]

Oversett filer gjennom den innebygde oversettelsesflyten: utnytt et tilknyttet innholdsminne først (en no-op uten ett), oversett resten med den konfigurerte AI-leverandøren, kjør deretter de deterministiske kontrollene (plassholdere, inline-tagger, uoversatt tekst) over det som ble produsert.

Dette er den sikrede varianten — den samme tretrinns-flyten som 'kapi up' løper gjennom for et prosjekt, anvendt på ad-hoc-filer. Det rå oversettelses-verktøyet (uten minnepass, uten kontroller) er fortsatt tilgjengelig som 'kapi exec translate'. For å oppdatere et helt prosjekt, bruk 'kapi up'.
