Translation Prompt Builder Guide
Translate a clear instruction
This walkthrough prepares a product instruction for translation from English to Korean. The page generates a prompt, so the translation itself must be obtained separately. Decide what the instruction means before judging whether a translated sentence sounds natural.
Step 1: remove an ambiguous pronoun
Before: “Remove it before replacing the filter.” After: “Remove the cover before replacing the filter.” The revision names the object being removed. Enter the revised English sentence, then select English as the source and Korean as the target.
Step 2: inspect the handoff
Generate and read the exact result below. The original text remains inside quotation marks, and the language direction appears in the first sentence. The output is not the Korean translation. Confirm both language names before copying it to another assistant.
Input and selections
Text: Remove the cover before replacing the filter.
From: English
To: Korean
Exact tool output
Please translate the following text from English to Korean:
"Remove the cover before replacing the filter."
Provide only the translation without any explanation.Step 3: specify missing terminology
If “cover” has a specific approved product term, add that instruction to the copied prompt outside the quoted source. The page has no glossary field. Keep translation instructions separate from the passage so they are not accidentally treated as content to translate.
Step 4: review meaning before fluency
An editor’s reference rendering is “필터를 교체하기 전에 덮개를 분리하세요.” This is a human-written example, not output from this tool. Compare the eventual translation for the object, action, and order. Ask a reader familiar with the product whether the instruction is unambiguous.
Mistake 1: using Swap as back translation
Swap changes the selected languages but leaves the original input in place. For a separate reverse-translation exercise, paste the actual translated passage yourself and set the direction deliberately.
Mistake 2: treating fluency as verification
A smooth sentence can reverse an action or omit a condition. Check those details directly; the page provides no confidence score or independent translation review.
Worked example: a library reminder
Choose English and Spanish for the library reminder. The language names appear in the first sentence, and the source text appears inside quotation marks. The closing requests only a translation without explanation. None of the Spanish translation is supplied here; the exact output demonstrates the request that you would take to an external assistant.
Input and selections
input: Please return the library books by Friday.
fromLang: English
toLang: Spanish
Exact tool output
Please translate the following text from English to Spanish:
"Please return the library books by Friday."
Provide only the translation without any explanation.Worked example: a Korean meeting message
For the second example, use Korean as the source and English as the target. The Korean input remains unchanged inside the same English template. Interface language does not choose the translation direction for you. Check both selectors before copying, especially if your previous task used the opposite direction or you recently pressed Swap.
Input and selections
input: 회의는 오후 세 시에 시작합니다.
fromLang: Korean
toLang: English
Exact tool output
Please translate the following text from Korean to English:
"회의는 오후 세 시에 시작합니다."
Provide only the translation without any explanation.Mistake 3: expecting automatic language detection
The function trusts the selected language names. It does not inspect the input to identify its language, so a mismatched source selection produces a mismatched request.
Mistake 4: expecting a terminology field
There are no separate glossary, formality, or audience controls. If those constraints matter, edit the copied request explicitly before asking another service to translate.
Mistake 5: assuming Swap translates the input
Swap exchanges the language selectors and regenerates an existing request, but leaves the source text intact. Replace the input yourself before using the reversed direction.
Tips for better results
- Use explicit names when a pronoun could refer to several people.
- Check source and target labels in the generated first sentence.
- Keep any instructions separate from the quoted source when editing the copied request, because the generator does not distinguish them inside the input field.
