Allow additional context in translation checkout

Problem/Motivation

DeepL introduced a new parameter context recently. The parameter can be used to provide more context for the translation.

The context parameter makes it possible to include additional context that can influence a translation but is not translated itself. This additional context can potentially improve translation quality when translating short, low-context source texts such as product names on an e-commerce website, article headlines on a news website, or UI elements.
For example:

  • When translating a product name, you might pass the product description as context.
  • When translating a news article headline, you might pass the first few sentences or a summary of the article as context.

For best results, we recommend sending a few complete sentences of context.

Remaining tasks

  • add possibility to enter translation context in checkout
  • pass translation context wihtin the translate call

User interface changes

  • text field for context is available as checkout setting
