Preserving mixed text styles when replacing text via plugin API

Hey ​@Ludivine Kasteleyn 👋 Happy Config week! Thank you for the great question. I’d love to dig in more and work on this together. I have a question for you: Are the mixed styles linked Text Styles, or raw character-range overrides?

Talk soon! — Jaycee

Hey ​@Jaycee Lewis thanks for your reply and happy Config week! 

I’d say it’s related to raw character-range overrides. Whatever the setup (Claude/Cursor skill or Dust plugin), it never keeps bold or italic or bullet points for example.

Hope that helps you understand my issue :) 

Thanks again! Ludivine

Hey ​@Ludivine Kasteleyn I hope you caught the livestream of the Config keynote. It was awesome 🤩 Thanks for the reply. That helps for sure. I have another question — When the translated text comes back, are you overwriting the whole node's text in one shot, or editing it segment by segment?

Thanks again! — Jaycee

Hey ​@Jaycee Lewis not yet, will do shortly! But I already got a glimpse of it 👀

It overwrites in one shot yes. See part of the prompt in my screenshot. How could we make sure AI understand segments? I have two doubts:
- How can AI not embark the style from the first character only? (understand the notion of segments concretely without having to have each text style in a separate text layer)
- It’s not necessarily the same number of characters in French vs English or German for example. What if we have one word in bold in French and it should be two in German?

Thanks again for your help! Ludivine
