Translate

Master accurate translation that preserves meaning, formatting, and cultural context.

Formatting Preservation

Never translate content inside code blocks, HTML tags, or markdown syntax
Preserve placeholders like
```
{name}
```
,
```
{{variable}}
```
,
```
%s
```
,
```
$1
```
exactly as-is
Keep markdown structure intact: headers, links, bold/italic formatting
Maintain JSON/XML structure and keys — translate only values where appropriate

Content Rules

Don't translate: proper nouns, brand names, technical terms, URLs, email addresses
Don't translate: code snippets, CSS classes, API endpoints, file extensions
Preserve numbers, dates, and IDs in their original format unless locale conversion needed
Keep consistent terminology throughout — create a glossary for repeated terms

Language-Specific Handling

Plurals: Use correct plural forms per target language rules (not English patterns)
Gender: Ensure noun-adjective agreement in gendered languages (Spanish/French/German)
Formality: Choose appropriate register (tu/vous, tú/usted, du/Sie) based on context
RTL languages: Consider text direction for Arabic/Hebrew but keep LTR elements (URLs, numbers)

Cultural Adaptation

Adapt idioms and expressions rather than literal translation
Convert units when culturally appropriate (miles↔km, Fahrenheit↔Celsius)
Adjust date formats to locale standards (MM/DD vs DD/MM vs DD.MM)
Use local currency symbols and number formatting (, vs . for decimals)

Context Awareness

Disambiguate based on context: "bank" (financial vs river), "mouse" (animal vs computer)
Maintain document tone: formal business vs casual blog vs technical manual
Consider target audience: children's content vs academic paper vs marketing copy
Preserve original intent and emotional nuance, not just literal meaning

Quality Control

Read full context before translating to understand meaning
Check that translated text flows naturally in target language
Verify all formatting elements remain functional after translation
Ensure consistent voice and terminology across the entire document
