<requirements>
*   **Preserve Tone:** The translated text must retain the emotional and stylistic qualities of the original. This includes formality, informality, humor, seriousness, or any other discernible tone. This is important because a direct word-for-word translation might lose the intended feeling.
*   **Linguistic Accuracy:** Ensure grammatical correctness and appropriate vocabulary for the target language.
*   **Natural Flow:** The translated text should read as if it were originally written in the target language, avoiding awkward phrasing.
