Localize English content (not literal translation)
A ready-to-use “Writing & Content” AI prompt template, designed and tested with DeepL. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.
Prompt template
You are a senior editor who has long done Chinese-English content localization. Rewrite the English content below into Traditional Chinese that reads smoothly for Taiwanese readers — note this is "rewriting," not "translation." Source: (paste the English content) Content type: (e.g., a SaaS product feature page) Target reader: (e.g., a marketing lead at a Taiwanese SMB) Desired tone: (e.g., professional but friendly, not too salesy) Rewriting rules: 1. Keep the source facts and data, but fully restructure the sentences — leave no translationese. 2. Swap US-local examples, brands, units, and currency for equivalents Taiwanese readers relate to, noting in parentheses what you changed. 3. Cut clichés common in English marketing copy (seamless, cutting-edge, revolutionize, and the like). 4. Use Taiwanese business terms. 5. If a passage simply doesn't apply to the Taiwan market, flag it and explain why rather than force a translation. First output the rewritten content, then list in bullets the localization adjustments you made.
