+import yaml
+""" USE ONLY AS DEVELOPER! This is a helper script to clean up the prototype YAML files. 
+
+It checks for redundant translations—cases where a translation in another language is identical to the English ("en") version.
+We need to do that so that we can later identify missing translations in other languages so that we may provide proper translations.
+
+How it works:
+
+It loads the patterns YAML file (the path is set by patterns_yaml_path).
+For each key, it gets the English translation.
+It compares each other language’s translation to the English one.
+If a translation matches the English text, it prints a message and triggers a debugger breakpoint for inspection.
+
+Output:
+It prints out any keys where a non-English translation is the same as the English one and pauses execution for debugging.
+
+Note:
+The code to write changes back to the YAML file is commented out, so the script currently only checks and reports redundancies—it does not modify the file. I have done this to make sure this is first used to inspect the data before making any changes.
+
+Gotcha:
+If you want to actually remove redundant translations or save changes, you’d need to uncomment and adapt the writing section. Also, the script expects the YAML structure to be a dictionary of keys, each mapping to a dictionary of language codes and translations.
