How to use
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or another neural network.
- Replace [source language] with the language of your text, for example "Russian" or "English."

Example result
Original text (Russian → English, neutral register):
"Искусственный интеллект меняет подход к переводу текстов. Современные модели способны учитывать контекст, идиомы и культурные особенности языка."
Translation result:
"Artificial intelligence is changing the way texts are translated. Modern models can account for context, idioms, and cultural nuances of a language."
Tips and variations
- Clarify the context: Add the text type to the prompt - "legal contract," "marketing post," or "technical documentation" - so the AI selects appropriate terminology.
- Ask for explanations of difficult parts: Add "If there are ambiguous phrases, indicate them and suggest options" for dealing with idioms and cultural references.
- Check with back translation: After receiving the result, ask the AI to translate the text back to the source language - this helps identify semantic losses.
- Specify the target audience: Clarify "text for native British English speakers" or "for a business audience in Germany" to ensure the translation is as accurate as possible.
Alternative neural networks: The prompt works well with ChatGPT (GPT-4o), Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and DeepSeek. For technical or legal texts, we recommend Claude or GPT-4o - they handle complex terminology better.
