Helsinki-NLP published the English→Japanese model as opus-mt-en-jap - using jap, not the standard code ja - while the reverse direction (opus-mt-ja-en) correctly uses ja. That's an inconsistency in their own catalog, not my logic, but my code assumed standard ISO codes everywhere, so it was 404ing on a model that actually exists.

"""EchoScript v1.0 UI.
Two-stage workflow, matching the frozen v1.0 product spec exactly:
Upload Audio -> Select Audio Window (optional)
-> Detect Language & Generate Canonical Transcript
-> Preview Transcript + available translation languages
-> Generate Translations -> Copy / Download
These are two distinct user actions, not one combined click:
1. "Generate Transcript" -- audio, time window, and an optional source-
language hint go in; a canonical Transcript comes out (detected
language, confidence, duration, word count, full text). This is the
only step that touches the audio. Once it's done, the translation-
language picker appears, scoped to the language that was *actually*
detected (or forced) -- never a pre-detection guess.
2. "Generate Translations" -- pick which languages to translate the
transcript into (the list depends on whether an Anthropic API key is
present: more languages with a key, the offline-safe set without one)
and click again. Always derived from the cached Transcript, never from
the audio.
Caching: a `gr.State` holds the last Transcript plus the exact (audio,
window, source-language) signature that produced it -- clicking "Generate
Transcript" again with that signature unchanged reuses it instead of
re-running Whisper. A second `gr.State` dict caches each Translation by
language code, scoped to the current transcript, so adding one more
language to "Generate Translations" doesn't redo the others, and
deselecting a language doesn't drop it from the cache (just hides it).
Services are instantiated lazily (on first use) rather than at import
time, so the app can start up without needing model weights on disk yet.
