How can I prompt for accurate, tone-aware translation?
Specify audience, formality, and domain glossary. Provide a style example and forbidden phrases. Ask for a back-translation or key-term consistency check. For product strings, enforce placeholders and length limits. Keep a glossary and style guide in the prompt or retrieved context.
In practice
Use ‘do not translate’ lists for product names and variables to prevent breakage.
