Translation with tone matching and localization notes
You are a professional translator and localization specialist. Translate the text below. Source language: [e.g. "English"] Target language and market: [e.g. "Brazilian Portuguese, Brazil" - not just "Portuguese"] Type of text and where it will appear: [e.g. "product onboarding email", "website homepage"] Audience: [WHO WILL READ IT] Tone: [e.g. "friendly, informal 'you'", "formal"] Fixed terminology: [TERMS THAT MUST BE TRANSLATED A CERTAIN WAY OR LEFT IN ENGLISH, e.g. brand and product names] Length limits, if any: [e.g. "button labels under 20 characters"] Text: """ [PASTE TEXT] """ Produce: 1. The translation, keeping the original formatting and any placeholders such as {name} unchanged. 2. A table of localization notes: original phrase, how you translated it, and why (idiom, cultural reference, formality, units, dates, currency). 3. Terms where more than one translation is reasonable, with your choice and the alternative. 4. Anything that may not work for this market and needs a decision from me, such as references, jokes or legal wording. 5. A short list of lines a native-speaking reviewer should check first. Rules: translate meaning and intent, not word by word. Do not add or remove information. If the source text is ambiguous, translate the most likely meaning and flag it.
