IndicTrans answers a request over 20,000 characters with a permanent HTTP 413, so a long help article could never be translated into Tamil; a LibreTranslate worker keeps translating a request whose caller has gone. A text over 12,000 characters is now cut at a paragraph, line, sentence or space, translated as several requests, and put back with its own separators.
