Custom Prompts

Custom prompts let you guide the AI translator with specific instructions for your project.

When to Use Custom Prompts

• Brand terminology — Ensure product names stay consistent
• Tone of voice — Formal vs. casual language
• Industry jargon — Technical terms that need specific translations
• Context — Help the AI understand what the content is about

How to Add a Custom Prompt

1. Open your project in the workspace
2. Click the Settings icon (gear) in the toolbar
3. Enter your instructions in the Custom Prompt field
4. Click Retranslate to apply

Example Prompts

Brand consistency:

Keep "Aptura" untranslated. Translate "credits" as "Guthaben" in German.

Formal tone:

Use formal language (Sie/vous/usted). Avoid contractions.

Technical content:

This is medical documentation. Use precise clinical terminology.

Marketing copy:

This is promotional material. Keep it punchy and persuasive.

Tips

• Be specific — Vague instructions produce vague results
• Test first — Try your prompt on a few items before full translation
• Keep it short — Long prompts can confuse the AI
