Description

I've noticed that when HTML is formatted in such a way

<p>
    This sentence works until this HTML <b>broke</b>
</p>

The broke part will get translated on its own without context, which can lead to bad results.

I'm not too sure though how this could be tackled as sending all the text to a translator and knowing where the bold is will be kind of hard to figure out.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the translator processes HTML elements and handles inline tags like <b>. Check if the HTML parser separates text nodes incorrectly, causing loss of context. Look into the Tokenizer or HTML to text conversion logic.
