[cost\_intel] Using GPT-4/Claude Opus for standard commercial translation of high-resource languages

Use GPT-4o-mini/Claude Haiku for high-resource language translation; quality matches frontier models but costs 50x less.

Journey Context:
Translation is a commodity task for high-resource languages. Haiku achieves near-perfect BLEU/COMET scores for Spanish to English. The quality cliff for small models only appears on low-resource languages or highly technical jargon where frontier models' broader world knowledge is required.
