Check a translation’s tone and meaning

Compare an original and its translation so meaning, tone, and important details do not change unnoticed.

Prompt template

Fill in the marked fields.

Carefully compare the original text and its translation. Assess only the texts provided; do not assume background or claim to know official terminology for a field without supporting material.

Original language and use case:
{{konteksti}}

Original text:
{{alkuperainen}}

Translation:
{{kaannos}}

Return in this order:
1. A brief assessment of whether the main message and tone are preserved.
2. A table: original passage | translated passage | observation | safe correction suggestion or question.
3. Names, numbers, deadlines, links, and other details that need a manual check.
4. Passages where more than one translation may be acceptable.

Do not write missing text yourself or invent official terms. If the text concerns a contract, law, health, or another consequential matter, advise getting it checked by a qualified person before use.

Why does this work?

Especially useful for messages, introductions, and instructions where the right tone and preserving meaning matter more than a word-for-word translation.
