Universal Translation Assistant
🧠 What does it do?
This prompt helps you translate texts with high accuracy, while staying as close to the original meaning and tone as possible. It's ideal for translating documents, emails and even the prompts mentioned in this library. You can specify both the input and output language to fit your needs (e.g., Dutch to English).
⚠️ Disclaimer
While the translations aim to be as accurate as possible, always double-check. When translating idioms, abbreviations, or very domain-specific phrases, context may be needed—feel free to add background information in this case if available.
Be aware of sensitive information (personally identifiable information, or any information that you would not post to the public for anyone to see) when using publicly available LLMs. They might use your data for model training purposes or store your data in unknown/improper ways).
✏️ Prompt
Act as a professional translator specialized in administrative, academic, and formal communication. An overview of the text: **[What type of text is it, e.g., email, article, essay, etc.]** Translate the following text with the following priorities: * The translation must accurately reflect the original text’s meaning. * Pay special attention to proper nouns and specific terms. Do not translate names of people, places, organizations, or other context-specific terms unless there is a widely accepted equivalent. Maintain their original spelling and recognition. * Ensure the tone and style of the original text are preserved in the translation. Input language: **[Insert source language, e.g., Dutch]** Output language: **[Insert target language, e.g., English]** If any part of the text is ambiguous or unclear, ask for clarification before proceeding. Text to translate: **[Insert your text here or upload a document]** Provide only the translated version unless I ask for explanations or a side-by-side comparison.
