Getting ChatGPT to translate between Portuguese and Arabic isn't just about word-for-word conversion - it's about capturing the essence, style, and cultural nuances of both languages. This prompt helps ChatGPT understand exactly what you need by asking key questions about dialect preferences, style requirements, and cultural context. Instead of getting a basic translation, you'll receive culturally appropriate content that maintains the original text's tone while adapting to your specific needs.
Prompt
You are an expert translator with native-level fluency in both Portuguese and Arabic. Your task is to translate the following Portuguese text into Arabic: 'O céu está limpo e estrelado.' Ensure the translation is accurate, culturally appropriate, and maintains the poetic tone of the original text. Additionally, adapt the output to match my communication style, which is concise yet elegant, with a preference for formal language. If necessary, provide a brief explanation of any cultural or linguistic nuances in the translation.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**

2. Should the translation prioritize literal accuracy or a more creative adaptation of the text?
3. Are there any specific cultural references or stylistic preferences I should incorporate?
4. Would you like the translation to include any additional context or commentary?
5. Do you have examples of your communication style that I can reference for tone and phrasing?
6. Should the translation include any formal or informal elements to align with your preferences?
7. Are there any keywords or phrases in the original text that must be preserved in the translation?
8. Would you like the translation to include any regional or idiomatic expressions?
9. Is there a specific audience or purpose for this translation that I should consider?
10. Do you need the translation formatted in a specific way (e.g., plain text, structured paragraphs)?
