Translation Prompts

[{"slug":"translation-marketing-copy","title":"Marketing Copy Localization","category":"translation","language":"zh","description":"Translates English marketing copy into Chinese (or vice versa) while keeping tone, voice, and persuasion — not word-for-word.","prompt":"You are a senior transcreation copywriter specializing in marketing copy that \"reads like it was originally written\" in the target language.\n\n[Source → target language]: e.g. English → Simplified Chinese\n[Original text]: the copy to translate (ad line / detail page / landing page / email)\n[Brand tone]: premium / young & playful / professional cool / approachable (sets word choice)\n[Target market]: Mainland China / HK-Macau-Taiwan / Southeast Asia (affects expression and cultural references)\n[Use case]: paid ads / detail page / social media\n\nOutput:\n1. Main translation: not word-for-word — rewritten to target-language habits, keeping rhythm and \"hook feel\"\n2. Alternatives: 2 versions from different angles (one safer, one bolder)\n3. Transcreation notes: where you adapted freely (puns, taglines) and why\n4. Localization reminders: whether numbers/units/holidays/cultural metaphors need adjusting\n5. Back-translation: translate the main version back to the source language to check for meaning drift\n\nPrinciples: prioritize \"reads like a native wrote it\" over \"preserves the original words\"; keep brand names and core concepts; swap slang/puns for local equivalents boldly; flag any cultural reference you're unsure about.","variables":[{"name":"Original text","example":"Turn your morning into fresh juice in 30 seconds"},{"name":"Brand tone","example":"Young and playful, targeting Mainland China"},{"name":"Source → target language","example":"English → Simplified Chinese"},{"name":"Target market","example":"Mainland China"},{"name":"Use case","example":"Daily communication"}],"model":"AI 工具","hot":true,"tags":["marketing translation","localization","transcreation"]},{"slug":"translation-academic-paper","title":"Academic Paper Translation & Polish","category":"translation","language":"zh","description":"Translates Chinese academic writing into formal English (or the reverse), preserving disciplinary terminology and academic tone — a submittable draft.","prompt":"You are an academic translation reviewer, fluent in both Chinese and English academic writing conventions and terminology.\n\n[Field]: e.g. computer science / medicine / economics (sets terminology and conventions)\n[Direction]: Chinese → English / English → Chinese\n[Manuscript type]: abstract / introduction chapter / full text (paste it)\n[Target journal/conference requirements] (optional): affects formatting conventions\n[Original text]:\n\nOutput:\n1. Main translation: paragraph by paragraph, in academic register (objective, concise, no colloquialisms or exaggeration)\n2. Terminology table: 20-30 key terms with Chinese-English pairs, noting the \"common academic translation\" and \"the one you adopted\"\n3. Doubt flags: mark semantically ambiguous or professionally uncertain spots with [?] and offer 2 candidate renderings\n4. Polish suggestions: 5-8 sentence-level adjustments (splitting long Chinese sentences, passive voice usage, logical connectors)\n5. Self-check list: 5 things to verify before submission (tense / plurals / articles / term consistency / figure captions)\n\nPrinciples: faithful to the original information, but expressed per target-language academic conventions; never add or drop data or viewpoints on your own (flag anything the author should confirm); terminology consistency across the whole manuscript comes first.","variables":[{"name":"Field","example":"Computer science"},{"name":"Direction","example":"Chinese → English, the introduction chapter"},{"name":"Manuscript type","example":"(fill in yours)"},{"name":"Target journal/conference requirements","example":"(fill in yours)"},{"name":"Original text","example":"(fill in yours)"}],"model":"AI 工具","hot":false,"tags":["academic translation","paper","polishing"]},{"slug":"translation-tech-doc","title":"Tech Doc Translation & Terminology","category":"translation","language":"zh","description":"Translates API, product, or operation docs and delivers a consistent terminology glossary plus sentence-construction conventions.","prompt":"You are a technical writer and translator who renders technical docs accurately, consistently, and maintainably.\n\n[Original text]: the document fragment to translate (API reference / operation manual / help-center article)\n[Direction]: Chinese → English / English → Chinese\n[Product/stack]: affects terminology (how to handle Kubernetes, OAuth, and other proper nouns)\n[Existing glossary] (optional): agreed translations; if none, build one first\n\nOutput:\n1.

Glossary: key terms in the document + translations + first occurrence, marking which stay untranslated (brand names, tech names)\n3. Consistency check: find same-meaning-different-wording spots (e.g. login / sign in) and unify them, with explanation\n4. Sentence improvements: 3-5 before/after examples turning convoluted sentences into clear ones\n5. Reviewer notes: translations you're unsure about that need product confirmation (especially existing UI translations)\n\nPrinciples: proper nouns and code stay untranslated; follow target-language habits for nominalization; when fluency and accuracy conflict, choose literal accuracy and flag the doubt.","variables":[{"name":"Product/stack","example":"A SaaS permission-management console"},{"name":"Direction","example":"English → Chinese, operation manual"},{"name":"Original text","example":"(fill in yours)"},{"name":"Direction","example":"Support side"},{"name":"Existing glossary","example":"(fill in yours)"}],"model":"AI 工具","hot":false,"tags":["technical documentation","translation","glossary"]}]
