This got me thinking 💡

Django docs might be a perfect fit for this, since they’re built statically with Sphinx and the build sees the whole corpus, so you could train a shared dictionary from all the repeated HTML, templates, and structure 🗃️

With thousands of pages and many languages sharing the same layout, a per-language dictionary could squeeze responses even more once dictionary compression becomes easier to deploy ✅

Feels like a fun experiment for the Django ecosystem ⚗️
