Description

Hello. I would like to see support for custom dictionaries. It would be nice to be able to add pairs of words (phrases) -> desired translations. This is very useful for correctly translating texts with various terms that the original LLM model may not know or may translate incorrectly.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the translation pipeline and determining where custom phrase-to-translation dictionaries would be loaded and applied. Define matching, precedence, and configuration behavior; done means supported custom pairs reliably override incorrect model translations, with tests covering the chosen behavior.
