I keep telling you ya marcia to compile , edit, add, polish…etc those rules and publish them into a book. People need that sort of books. I am using it for my students and I find them greatly practical.
Hopefully I can add my own rules about translating YA fantasy soon.

You’re right — I would like to organize these, ask more translators to fill in the gaps, perhaps solicit some training exercises and other things — and put them together, maybe as an e-book, maybe as a printed text. I look forward to your rules!
