Overview

This module translates English academic text to Chinese while preserving academic register, domain-specific terminology, and the conventions of formal written Chinese (书面语). It does not perform word-for-word conversion — it actively selects the correct Chinese equivalent for each technical term, consulting references/term-mapping.md for canonical mappings. English sentence structures that do not transfer naturally into Chinese academic writing are restructured appropriately. After translation is complete, this module offers to pass its output to chinese-polisher for further style refinement.

Parameters

Required:

• domain — research domain of the source text. Accepted values: tcm | bioinformatics | clinical | pharmacology. Determines which terminology standard governs translation choices and which section of term-mapping.md takes precedence.

Optional:

• target_audience — intended readership context. Accepted values: academic_journal | clinical_report | popular_science | grant_application. Default: academic_journal. Affects formality and technical depth of the Chinese output: academic_journal uses dense 书面语; clinical_report uses clear concise prose; popular_science simplifies terminology with brief explanations; grant_application emphasizes clarity and national-standard terminology for reviewers.
