Description
Right now context translation lives in each backend extension, but there could be a global DI.translate.
Also, the mess of include_blablablaified kwargs to DIT.test_differentiation should be replaced.

Research direction
Start by tracing context translation through the backend extensions and inspect the DIT.test_differentiation entry point and its include_blablablaified keyword arguments. The intended result is a global DI.translate mechanism and a replacement for the current collection of testing kwargs; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
