AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

Factories define blueprints for generating fake model data using the Faker library, useful for testing and seeding. Seeders, run via php artisan db:seed, populate the database, often calling factories like User::factory()->count(10)->create(). DatabaseSeeder orchestrates which seeders run and in what order.
