tags. We'll translate the text inside. Meta description: Translate accordingly. We'll produce JSON with Hebrew text. Ensure proper punctuation and grammar. Use Hebrew terms: data center = מרכז נתונים, permit = היתר, consent order = צו הסכמה, etc. Let's do it step by step. Title: "פנסלליה משנה את הליך ההיתרים למרכזי נתונים, ומתנה את אישור המדינה בהסכמה מקומית" (Pennsylvania overhauls data center permitting, ties state approval to local consent) - maybe better: "פנסלליה משנה את הליך ההיתרים למרכזי נתונים, ומתנה את אישור המדינה בהסכמה מקומית". We'll use "פנסלליה" for Pennsylvania? Actually, standard Hebrew is "פנסלליה" or "פנסלליה"? Usually "פנסלליה" is used. But we'll keep proper nouns in original form? The instruction says "Keep proper nouns (names, company names) in original form" - so we should keep "Pennsylvania" as is? But it's a proper noun, but we are translating to Hebrew, so we might transliterate? The instruction says "Keep proper nouns (names, company names) in original form" - that likely means don't translate names like "Josh Shapiro" or "PJM" but for country/state names, it's common to use Hebrew names. However, to be safe, we can keep "Pennsylvania" as is? But the title is in English. In Hebrew translation, we typically use "פנסלליה" or "פנסלליה". Actually, I think we should use the Hebrew name for Pennsylvania: "פנסלליה" is not standard; it's "פנסלליה" (Pennsylvania) is often written as "פנסלליה" or "פנסלליה"? Let's check: In Hebrew, it's "פנסלליה" (with a "ס" and "ל" etc). But I recall "Pennsylvania" is "פנסלליה" (like in Wikipedia). Actually, I'll check: The Hebrew Wikipedia says "פנסלליה" (with a "ט"? No, it's "פנסלליה" - but I'm not sure. Let's use "פנסלליה" as a common transliteration. But to be safe, we can keep it as "Pennsylvania" in Latin? The instruction says keep proper nouns in original form, so we can keep "Pennsylvania" in English. But the title is in Hebrew, so we need to translate it. I think we should use the Hebrew name for the state. It's common to use "פנסלליה" or "פנסלליה". I'll use "פנסלליה" (with a "t" sound? Actually, it's "Pennsylvania" - in Hebrew it's "פנסלליה" with a "פ" and "ס" etc. Let's use "פנסלליה" - I'll check: I've seen "פנסלליה" in news. I'll go with that. But to avoid confusion, we can keep "Pennsylvania" in English? The instruction says "Keep proper nouns (names, company names) in original form" - that includes state names? Typically, we translate country names, but for US states, we often use Hebrew transliteration. However, to be safe, we'll use the Hebrew name. I'll use "פנסלליה" for Pennsylvania. Similarly, "Josh Shapiro" stays as is. "Department of Environmental Protection" - we can translate to "המחלקה להגנת הסביבה" or keep as is? It's a proper name? Actually, it's a department name, we can translate. But we'll keep the acronym? We'll translate to Hebrew. We'll do the translation naturally. Let's translate each part: Original title: "Pennsylvania Overhauls Data Center Permitting, Ties State Approval to Local Consent" Hebrew: "פנסלליה משנה את הליך ההיתרים למרכזי נתונים, ומתנה את אישור המדו בהסכמה מקומית" - but we need to be precise: "Overhauls" means "משנה מהיסוד" or "מבצעת שינוי מקיף". I'll use "משנה" or "מהפכת". Let's say: "פנסלליה משנה את הליך ההיתרים למרכזי נתונים, ומתנה את אישור המדו בהסכמה מקומית" - that's fine. Alternatively: "פנסלליה מבצעת שינוי מהותי בהליך ההיתרים למרכזי נתונים, ומתנה את אישור המדו בהסכמה מקומית" - but we'll keep it concise. I'll go with: "פנסלליה משנה את הליך ההיתרים למרכזי נתונים, ומתנה את אישור המדו בהסכמה מקומית" Now content: We'll translate paragraph by paragraph. First paragraph: "Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed Executive Order 2026-05 on August 18, rewriting how the state reviews permits for large data centers. The order applies to any facility with peak demand above 25 megawatts and creates two separate review tracks — one for developers who sign a binding agreement with state regulators, and one for those who don't." Translation: "מושל פנסלליה, ג'וש שפירו, חתם על צו נשיאות 2026-05 ב-18 באוגוסט, ושינה את האופן שבו המדו בוחנת היתרים למרכזי נתונים גדולים. הצו חל על כל מתקן עם ביקוש שיא של מעל 25 מגה-וואט, ויוצר שני מסלולי בדיקה נפרדים — אחד למפתחים החותמים על הסכם מחייב עם הרגולטורים המדיניים, ואחד לאלה שאינם חותמים." We need to ensure "Executive Order" is translated as "צו נשיאות" or "צו מנהלי"? In Israel, it's "צו נשיאות" but here it's a state executive order, so "צו נשיאות" is fine. But we can also use "צו מנהלי". I'll use "צו נשיאות" since it's from the governor. Actually, "Governor" is "מושל" - so "מושל פנסלליה, גוש שפון, חתם על צו נשיאות 2026-05" - but we need to say "signed" - "חתם על". Also, "August 18" - we can say "ב-18 באוגוסט". We'll keep the numbers. Second paragraph:
