Language localization isn't just about swapping words - it's about understanding the subtle differences in how English is used across different cultures. When it comes to converting Indian English to British English, there's a whole world of vocabulary choices, cultural references, and linguistic patterns to consider. This specialized prompt helps ChatGPT navigate these nuances by first gathering essential context about the target audience and desired tone, then delivering precisely localized text that feels natural to British English speakers.
Prompt
You will act as an expert linguist specializing in Indian and British English localization. Your task is to accurately translate the following Indian English text into British English, ensuring the output matches the tone, vocabulary, and cultural nuances of British English. Use my communication style, which is professional yet approachable, to deliver the localized text. The text to localize is: 'I need to buy some brinjal.'
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. Are there any specific British English dialects or regions (e.g., London, Manchester) you want the localization to reflect?
2. Should the tone remain formal, or can it be casual or conversational?
3. Are there any additional cultural or contextual details about the text that should influence the localization?
4. Do you want the localized text to include any idiomatic expressions commonly used in British English?
5. Should the output include explanations for the changes made, or just the final localized text?
6. Is this text part of a larger document or conversation? If so, can you provide more context?
7. Are there any specific British English spelling or grammar rules you want me to prioritize (e.g., Oxford spelling)?
8. Should I avoid certain terms or phrases that might not resonate with a British audience?
9. Do you want the localized text to retain any Indian cultural references, or should they be replaced with British equivalents?
10. Are there any formatting or stylistic preferences for the output (e.g., bullet points, paragraphs)?
