How does the tool identify idioms?

It compares your text against a curated registry of known idiomatic phrases and assesses the risk level based on their density. Tools available: `your_tool_name`.

Can I predict how much longer my German translation will be?

Yes, use `predict_expansion_risk` to get an estimated percentage increase in character count for languages like German or French.

Does it detect variables in text?

Yes, `check_translatability_mechanics` identifies embedded tokens like `{user_name}` that might require reordering in RTL or SOV languages.
