   *Description:* Specifies the input folder containing one or more `.po` files to be processed.  
   *Behind the scenes:* The tool recursively scans this folder and processes every file ending with `.po`.
 
-- **`--lang <language_codes>`**  
-  *Description:* A comma-separated list of ISO 639-1 language codes (e.g., `de,fr`) or locale codes (e.g., `fr_CA,pt_BR`).

+  *Description:* A comma-separated list of ISO 639-1 language codes (e.g., `de,fr`) or locale codes (e.g., `fr_CA,pt_BR`). **If not provided, the tool will auto-detect languages from PO file metadata or folder structure.**

   *Description:* A comma-separated list of full language names (e.g., `"German,French"`) that correspond to the codes provided with `--lang`.  
   *Behind the scenes:* These names are used in the translation prompts to give the AI clearer context, potentially improving translation quality.
