Unit for youth is ready, but remains closed</minimax:tool_call>: The translation should be direct and natural. The original uses "continua" which is present tense, suggesting an ongoing situation. "Unidade" can be "facility" or "unit" depending on context. "Jovens" is "youth" or "young people." "Fechada" is "closed." The most natural English phrasing would be: "Youth facility is ready, but remains closed" or "Facility for youth is ready, but stays closed." I'll go with a straightforward translation that captures the meaning without unnecessary elaboration. The phrase "continua fechada" implies persistence of the closed state, so "remains closed" is more accurate than "stays closed" in this context. The translation should be direct and natural.
