The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes a developer-only translation helper that relied on the 'translate' package, which in turn pulled in the 'lxml' XML-processing library. The stated goal is to reduce exposure to lxml, a large native-code dependency that has a history of security vulnerabilities. The change only affects development tooling and does not alter the actual Krux firmware or wallet code that end users run.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine hygiene improvement. Verify that CI and developer workflows no longer need the removed 'fill' commands, and run 'poetry lock' to ensure the lockfile is consistent. No end-user action is required.
