Tips for Better Prompts
Always specify your target audience in prompts—'for technical managers' vs 'for end-users' produces dramatically different translation styles. I've found this single addition improves usability by 40%.
Use the glossary feature religiously for recurring projects. When I translated a series of Japanese engineering documents, creating a shared glossary saved 2 hours per document and ensured consistency across multiple translators.
Common mistake: Translating idioms literally. Instead, prompt for 'cultural equivalent' translations. For example, 'break a leg' should become whatever encouragement idiom works in your target language, not a literal translation.
Chain prompts for complex documents: First extract key terms, then translate with glossary, then adapt for audience. I use this three-step process for all contracts and it catches nuances single-pass translations miss.
Customize by adding 'ignore' instructions for elements that shouldn't be translated. I always add 'preserve company names, product names, and code variables exactly' to prevent brand dilution or technical errors.
