Instructions
Step 2: Apply Glossary
- Use exact glossary translations for all mapped terms
- Brand names (ABC 클라우드 → ABC Cloud) must match exactly
- Product features must use standardized translations
Step 3: Translate Content
- Preserve the original meaning completely
- Adapt cultural references appropriately
- Match the formality level to the target locale
- Keep the same sentence structure where natural
Step 4: Verify Format Integrity
- Preserve all HTML tags (
<a>, </a>, <b>, etc.)
- Keep placeholders unchanged (
{0}, {1}, %s, etc.)
- Maintain line breaks and formatting markers
- Preserve numbers, dates, and units (adapt format if needed)
Step 5: Quality Check
- Read the translation as a native speaker would
- Ensure natural flow without awkward literal translations
- Verify all glossary terms are applied correctly
Glossary Application
Strict Terms (Must Match Exactly):
- Brand names: ABC 클라우드, ABC 계정, Galaxy
- Product names: 갤러리, ABC 노트, 리마인더
- Legal terms: 이용약관, 개인정보처리방침
Flexible Terms (Context-Dependent):
- UI actions: 동기화 (sync/synchronize based on context)
- Status messages: Consider natural phrasing for target locale
When a term is not in the glossary, use your professional judgment to provide a consistent translation.

- Use British spelling (colour, centre, organise)

- Use simplified characters
- Formal, professional tone
- Localize numbers and units
de (German):
- Formal Sie form for user-facing text
- Compound words per German conventions
- Date format: DD.MM.YYYY
Format Preservation
