Prompt

Translate the supplied [SOURCE LINES] from [SOURCE LANGUAGE] to [TARGET LANGUAGE] within [CHARACTER LIMIT] characters per line. Return line suggestions, a meaning-preservation table for names, negation, numbers, and conditions, plus any lines that cannot fit honestly. Include timecodes only when the supplied lines contain them. Use natural breaks but do not drop a warning to meet length. Do not invent timing if none is provided; list timing as a separate media check. Check character counts and have a fluent reviewer assess register before publishing.
