What translateValues does on Verblaze MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why translateValues needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies translation data across all supported languages in the project. It writes new translated values to the localization project, which is a reversible write operation (translations can be overwritten or updated). It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions.
