(cli) Translator notes/hints are not included when not using lingo.dev provider

[thomasaull]

What's happening?

When using a provider other than lingo.dev, even when using one of the supported buckets translator notes/hints are not sent along with the translation request to the model.

Exact Reproduction Steps

Check the source where the request is created:

const payload = {
  sourceLocale: input.sourceLocale,
  targetLocale: input.targetLocale,
  data: input.processableData,
};

const response = await generateText({
  model,
  ...params.settings,
  messages: [
    { role: "system", content: systemPrompt },
    { role: "user", content: "OK" },
    ...shots.flatMap(
      ([userShot, assistantShot]) =>
        [
          { role: "user", content: JSON.stringify(userShot) },
          { role: "assistant", content: JSON.stringify(assistantShot) },
        ] as Message[],
    ),
    { role: "user", content: JSON.stringify(payload) },
  ],
});

Expected

Hints should be included in the request, so the model can take the additional context into consideration when translating the value

The code could look something like this:

const hasHints = input.hints && Object.keys(input.hints).length > 0;

const payload = {
  sourceLocale: input.sourceLocale,
  targetLocale: input.targetLocale,
  data: input.processableData,
  ...(hasHints && { hints: input.hints }),
};

Actual

Hints are not included in the request, the model does not have any additional context
