Turn off AI translation

Please could you add an option to completely turn off AI translation

I may have missed an option somewhere, but -

I am a linguist by background and do my own translations into several languages, taking account of register, preferred vocab, brevity and available space

I unlink text styles in my translation from source, but what happens is - if I go to check something in the English (source) screenshots then go back to German, my careful translation is overwritten by slop. It's inauthentic, uses the wrong register (I follow Apple's developer doc in using the informal Du form of you), doesn't always fit the space and is sometimes just wrong (for example, it hasn't correctly parsed the original text)

The attached video hopefully shows what's happing

So it would be nice in settings to say I don't want to use AI translation at all. There is much that is good about Butterkit, but this is putting me off

Thank you for considering
