Check a translation for mistakes
Paste the original text and its translation, and this prompt lists every problem it finds, quoting each line with a simple explanation and a better version. It finishes with the full corrected translation.
Check this translation from [SOURCE LANGUAGE] to [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Original: [PASTE ORIGINAL] Translation: [PASTE TRANSLATION] Who will read it: [e.g. customers, a government office, family] List every problem you find: meaning changed or missing, grammar mistakes, words that sound unnatural or too literal, and wrong tone or formality. For each, quote the line, explain the problem simply and give a better version. Then give me the full corrected translation.
For legal, medical or government paperwork, use a professional human translator. AI is a good first check, not the final word.
