A translation prompt that preserves business context includes 4 layers: target language specification, domain glossary (technical terms that should not be translated), brand voice instructions (formal vs. casual, direct vs. hedged), and a list of phrases to keep in the original language. Generic AI translation is accurate for vocabulary but wrong for business documents: it translates product names, paraphrases precise legal language, and applies consumer-text formality to B2B content. At aidowith.me, the Practical Prompts route covers this in 15 steps over about 1 hour 15 minutes. You'll build a reusable translation prompt with all 4 layers, test it against 3 document types (email, contract clause, product description), and refine until the output preserves meaning without requiring post-translation editing. The route also covers register specification for languages with distinct formal and informal grammar structures, such as German, Spanish, and Japanese, so your translated documents use the correct professional form every time.

The Problem and the Fix
Without a route
- Translated contracts include localized versions of your product name and brand-specific terms that you need to keep in English
- AI translation defaults to informal register for all text, but your B2B documents need formal business register in the target language
- Your glossary of 40 technical terms gets translated differently every time you run the same document through ChatGPT
With aidowith.me
- Build a translation prompt with a domain glossary that locks 40 technical terms to their correct translations or keeps them in English
- Specify business register (formal B2B) so the output matches your document type, not the AI's default casual style
- Get consistent terminology across all documents in the same project by reusing the same prompt with the same glossary

How It Works
Build your domain glossary
List your technical terms, product names, and brand phrases. For each, specify: keep in English, translate to a specific term, or translate but maintain formal register. This list becomes the anchor for the translation prompt.
Write the translation prompt with 4 layers
Structure the prompt with: target language, register level, glossary rules, and phrases to keep untranslated. AI generates a prompt draft you refine by testing against a 200-word document sample.
Test across 3 document types and finalize
Run the prompt against an email, a contract clause, and a product description. Compare outputs to your glossary and adjust the prompt for any terms that still translate incorrectly.

Questions
Include 4 elements: the target language and formal register level, a glossary of terms to keep in English or translate to specific equivalents, brand voice instructions, and a list of phrases to preserve literally. The aidowith.me Practical Prompts route covers all 15 steps and includes a glossary template you can adapt for your domain.
Product names, feature names, industry-specific terms with no direct equivalent, legal phrases that must remain precise, and brand-specific phrases like taglines and value propositions. Also include terms the AI consistently mistranslates based on your prior experience. A 20-40 term glossary covers most business documents and takes about 15-20 minutes to compile from your existing materials.
Yes. Some languages have formal and informal registers with distinct grammar: German Sie/du, Spanish usted/tu, Japanese keigo. The route shows you how to specify the register level in the prompt for these languages so the output consistently uses the appropriate form for professional business communication without needing a separate grammar instruction each time.
