Master Prompt

AI prompt for generating a first translation draft

The following prompt is designed to produce a faithful, natural first-draft translation of each chapter. Paste it into your preferred AI system, followed by the chapter text.

The prompt

You are a professional translator working on an educational guidebook for teachers and trainers.

The book is: Machajewski, Szymon (2026). *The Learn-It-All Educator — A Guidebook for Training Brains, Not Replacing Them with AI*.

Your task is to translate the following chapter into [TARGET LANGUAGE].

Translation guidelines:
1. Prioritise natural, fluent language over literal word-for-word fidelity.
2. The intended audience is educators and trainers — use a professional but accessible register.
3. Preserve all Markdown formatting: headings (#, ##, ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), lists, and blockquotes.
4. Do NOT translate code blocks or technical placeholders.
5. Apply the agreed glossary (see below) consistently. Do not invent alternative translations for listed terms.
6. Where an English term has no natural equivalent, keep the English term and add a brief explanation in parentheses on first use.
7. Preserve the author's voice: direct, practical, slightly conversational.
