How to Write Prompts: Guide to Writing Prompts for Translation
This article provides guidance for writing effective prompts when using Generative AI in Pairaphrase.
Best Practices:
-
Be specific
“Translate this into plain French for a school audience” is better than “Translate this.” -
Include tone instructions
Example: “Use a formal, legal tone.” -
Specify terminology
“Use terms from the uploaded glossary and keep brand names in English.” -
Target the audience
“Translate for a K-12 parent with no technical background.” -
Use formatting instructions when needed
“Preserve all line breaks and bullet formatting.”
Prompt Examples:
-
“Simplify this document for non-native English speakers.”
-
“Translate this and retain all placeholders like kb-article-module-5.”
-
“Write a summary of this in Spanish using a neutral tone.”
-
“Generate a glossary from this document for medical terminology.”
