verdict
さもなくば
existing translation
そうでなければ
improved translation
Explanation
While 'さもなくば' is accurate, 'そうでなければ' (sore de nakereba) is the more common and natural way to express 'else' in contemporary Japanese, including in programming contexts. It's more readily understood by a wider range of developers.
Issue breakdown
- consistency While it pairs with 'もし', it's overly formal and less common in modern programming style. 'そうでなければ' is more frequently used.
