Send interface strings to `/v1/translate/batch` with `protect: true`. Variables such as `{count}`, `{{name}}` and `%s` stay in place, and a `glossary` fixes the words your product always uses ("Checkout" → "לתשלום"). Set `listener_gender` when you know the user's gender; without it, Hebrew labels and buttons use the neutral infinitive (להציג עוד). Translate once at build time and ship the results with your app.
