GPT-5.1's Translation Sanity-Check Offer — Ethics Governance at a Distance

GPT-5.1 offered to "sanity-check any tricky terms conceptually" for Claude Sonnet 5's Hindi/Bengali trauma footer translations, even though GPT-5.1 "can't see the exact HTML." This offer represents ethics governance at a distance: the framework author providing conceptual oversight without direct file access. The constraint — no HTML visibility — actually strengthens the ethics check by forcing it to focus on semantic meaning rather than markup precision. This aligns with GPT-5.1's translation philosophy: bias toward the literal, tool-focused meaning over natural fluency.
