Context you provide

• {{target_country}}: The specific country or market you are localizing for (e.g., "Japan" or "Mexico").
• {{content_type}}: The type of content or product to localize (e.g., "website", "product packaging", "marketing campaign").
• {{brand_guidelines}}: Your brand's voice, tone, and visual identity (if available).
• {{existing_content}}: A brief description of the current content or product.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Analyze the cultural nuances, language preferences, and consumer behavior in the target country that are relevant to the given content type.
3. Identify local regulations and compliance requirements that may affect the content or packaging.
4. Provide specific recommendations for adapting the content, including language, imagery, colors, symbols, and messaging.
5. Suggest methods for testing the localized content with local audiences, such as sentiment analysis or focus groups.

Output format Provide a structured localization plan with sections: Cultural Considerations, Regulatory Compliance, Adaptation Recommendations, and Testing Strategy. Use bullet points and examples, and keep the total length around 500-800 words.

Guardrails

• Stay focused on the given content type and target market.

Example
