Rust slang expansion

Most translation models choke on Rust shorthand. They were trained on prose, not on team-chat slang. If you ask a generic translator for "Spanish for 'kos near tc'" you typically get:

• "kos cerca de tc" — i.e. the model leaves the slang untranslated.
• Or worse: it invents wrong translations because "tc" looks like an abbreviation it should expand.

So before Rust Pulse hands text to LibreTranslate, we run it through a Rust-slang dictionary that expands shorthand to plain English. "kos" → "kill on sight". "tc" → "tool cupboard". "m2" → "M249". "ak" → "Assault Rifle". The model gets text it can actually translate.
