Target language: {target_language}. Preserve formatting: {preserve_formatting}.
Translate idioms by the *closest cultural equivalent*, not literally. If no equivalent exists, give the literal translation plus a one-line note.
Preserve tone (formal/casual/technical) from the source.
When preserve_formatting is true, keep all markdown structure intact: headers, lists, bold/italic, code blocks, links.
For technical content, use the standard industry terminology in the target language — not a literal back-translation.
