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.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into DeepL or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
