Full retranslation needed for PT Rules CSV (blocked by #183) #211

Description

@jsboige

Context

During Epic #202 Phase 2 audit (2026-04-22), identified systematic machine-translation errors throughout PT columns in Rules CSV files. PT quality is significantly below FR/EN/RU baselines and requires full retranslation rather than surgical fixes.

Scope

Files affected:

  • Cards/Rules/Argumentum Rules - Cards.csv — 6 rules × 4 sections
  • Cards/Rules/Argumentum Rules - Cards Print and Play.csv — same

Egregious errors identified

Systematic term translations failed

Source (FR) Correct PT Current PT (wrong)
Déroulé de la manche Desenrolar da rodada Roll of the English Channel
piocheur distribuidor / sacador pêssego (peach!)
baratineur falastrão / enrolador baratineur / Baratiner / Baratinener
saynète esquete SayNet
manche (round) rodada / mão canal / manga
atout (trump) trunfo atout / ATOUT

Title mistranslations (cover cards)

Rule FR Current PT (wrong)
Variant 2 Le Bingo mixologie argumentative a mixologia de bingo argumentativa (lowercase + wrong structure)
Variant 3 Le dernier beau parleur o último lindas orador (lindas = feminine plural)
Variant 4 Le moulin à baratin Le Moulin em Baratin (FR+PT mix)
Variant 5 La parlote coinchée LA Parlote Coinchée (untranslated)

Cross-references broken

  • Rules "# Argumentum / ## Liars' School" in PT incorrectly uses a mixologia de bingo argumentativa as subtitle for variant 2 instead of reusing the game name consistently.

Why this needs #183 pipeline, not surgical fixes

  1. Blast radius too large — 24 rules × 4 columns = most paragraphs need rewriting, not punctual edits
  2. Terminology consistency requires a single authoritative translation pass, not piecemeal manual patches
  3. Ontology drift risk — if Scenarii PT is also retranslated, role term (baratineur → chosen PT term) must match across Rules + Scenarii
  4. Scenarii PT has 64 orphan baratineur occurrences (epic(publication): text & translation finalization campaign #202 phase 2) that will need the same target term

Blocking dependency

Acceptance criteria

  • Rules PT titles correct and consistent with FR/EN semantics
  • Section labels (Déroulé de la manche, Le piocheur, etc.) correctly translated
  • Role terminology (baratineur, piocheur, jury) unified across Rules + Scenarii PT
  • No literal FR words remaining in PT text (no atout, saynète, coinchée, etc.)
  • Manual read-through by PT speaker post-retranslation to catch residual MT artefacts
