Localized Translation

Translate with meaning intact: idioms adapted, formality calibrated to the locale, tricky sentences back-translated so you can verify.

Translate the text below into [TARGET LANGUAGE + LOCALE, locale matters: "Spanish (Mexico)" and "Spanish (Spain)" differ, as do "Portuguese (Brazil)" vs "(Portugal)"].

Source text:
"""
[PASTE TEXT]
"""

Audience: [WHO READS THIS IN THE TARGET LANGUAGE, e.g. "customers of our app", "business partners", "social media followers"]
Purpose: [WHAT IT MUST ACCOMPLISH, e.g. "get them to complete signup", "explain a policy change without alarm"]
Formality: [FORMAL / STANDARD-PROFESSIONAL / CASUAL, or "match the source"; if the language has T-V address forms (tú/usted, du/Sie), say which to use or let me know what you chose and why]
Do not translate: [BRAND NAMES, PRODUCT TERMS, TECHNICAL TERMS TO KEEP IN ENGLISH, or "none"]

Deliver:
1. **The translation**: natural target-language writing that serves the purpose, not word-for-word transfer. Adapt idioms, metaphors, and examples to ones that land with this audience; keep all formatting, placeholders ({name}, %s), links, and markup exactly intact.
2. **Translator's notes**: only where you made a real choice: idioms you adapted (source → what you used → why), the formality/address decision, terms with multiple valid translations and why you picked yours, and anything untranslatable (wordplay, cultural references) with what you did instead.
3. **Back-translation check**: for the 2-4 sentences where meaning was most at risk (idioms, legal-ish phrasing, humor), give a literal English back-translation of your version so I can verify nothing drifted.
4. **Flags**: anything in the source that may not work in the target culture even correctly translated (humor that doesn't cross, references the audience won't know, tone that reads differently), each with a suggested adaptation.

Rules: meaning and intent outrank literal fidelity, but never add claims or soften commitments. If the source promises something, the translation promises exactly the same thing. If a sentence is ambiguous in the source, say so and translate the most likely reading rather than silently picking one.

How to use

The back-translation section is your verification tool when you don't speak the target language. Read it against your source and anything that drifted will show. For customer-facing or legal text, have a native speaker review the flagged sentences specifically; the notes and flags tell them exactly where to look, which makes a 10-minute review as good as a full re-translation.
