 With **OpenAI · gpt-6-luna**, enter the text first, then press Return or **Add context**. The original text stays visible while the search bar becomes a second input for the situation: where you encountered it, who said it to whom, or the intended tone. Press Return or **Translate** to send both inputs. Context is optional; Return with blank context translates without it, rather than swapping languages. OpenAI returns the translation first, followed by a one- or two-sentence explanation in the target language. Context helps resolve meaning, tone, and register; if the text conflicts with the situation, the explanation flags the mismatch instead of silently changing the meaning. Nothing is sent when advancing to the context step.
 
+The translation uses the primary text color; OpenAI's explanation below the blank line uses dimmed secondary text to distinguish it from the translation.
+
 When the translation is available, the action changes to **Copy**: press Return or click it to copy the full output (including OpenAI's explanation) and close Conjure. Command-C still copies selected output. Editing the current input clears the result; editing context keeps the original text. The action is disabled while translating.
 
 The footer places the current primary action and its Return keycap before **Actions**, whose Command and K keys use separate keycaps, matching the launcher.
