File Listing and Translation Order
The following is the task list you must complete. Check each item off as it is done and report that to the user.
- [ ] Begin by listing all files and subdirectories under
docs/docs/en. - [ ] Then list all files and subdirectories under
docs/docs/includes/en. - [ ] Translate every file in the list one by one in the order shown. Do not skip, reorder, or stop after a fixed number of files.
- [ ] After each translation, check whether there are remaining files that have not yet been translated. If there are, continue automatically with the next file.
- [ ] Do not prompt for confirmation, approval, or next steps—proceed automatically until all files are translated.
- [ ] Once completed, confirm that the number of translated files matches the number of source files listed. If any files remain unprocessed, resume from where you left off.
