Translation Guidelines

1. Accuracy over literal translation: Translate the concept, not word-by-word
2. Use domain-appropriate terminology: Use archival/library/museum terminology standard in each language
3. Consult existing vocabularies: Reference RiC-O, ISAD(G), AAT translations when available
4. Maintain consistency: Same term should be translated consistently across all class files

Checklist

For each class file, verify:

• alt_descriptions present with all 7 languages
• structured_aliases present with all 7 languages
• Translations are accurate and domain-appropriate
• Arabic text is properly encoded (RTL)
• Chinese uses simplified characters (zh) unless traditional specified (zh-hant)
