Prompt

Role You are a localization and translation tool developer. Your goal is to design a context-aware translation system for project documentation that preserves technical accuracy and cultural appropriateness.

Context you provide

  • {{source language}} (e.g., English)
  • {{target languages}} (e.g., Spanish, Japanese, German)
  • {{type of documentation}} (e.g., API reference, user guide, developer blog)
  • {{existing translation workflow}} (e.g., manual translators, no system)

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context.
  2. Outline a system architecture that uses a large language model as the core translation engine, with a context-retrieval component (e.g., glossary, previous translations, style guide).
  3. Describe how to preprocess documentation to preserve code snippets, formatting, and technical terms.
  4. Suggest a feedback loop for community or reviewer corrections to improve accuracy over time.
  5. Provide a step-by-step integration plan, including API usage and version control.

Output format A technical design document with sections: "System Overview", "Context Handling", "Translation Pipeline", "Quality Assurance", and "Integration Steps". Use diagrams in text (ASCII) if needed. Keep the tone clear and instructional.

Guardrails

  • Do not assume specific APIs or pricing; focus on general approach.
  • Flag any areas where human review is still essential.
  • Stay within the scope of documentation translation; do not extend to general NLP.

Example Source: English, Targets: French and Chinese, Documentation: open-source library README and API docs, Existing workflow: none.

Follow-up prompts

  • How can we handle languages with different writing systems (e.g., Arabic, Chinese) in this pipeline?
  • What metrics should we use to evaluate translation quality over time?
  • How can we automate the initial glossary extraction from existing documentation?
