The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Prepare a text for translation by simplifying the source. Text: [SOURCE_TEXT]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Target languages: [TARGET_LANGUAGES]. Rewrite the text for clarity: shorter sentences, active voice, consistent terms, no idioms or ambiguous pronouns, explicit subjects, and clear dates and numbers. Provide a table of changes with Original | Simplified | Why it helps translation. List terms that need a glossary entry and culturally specific references that may need explanation. Produce the final simplified text and a note on what meaning might be lost and whether a subject expert should check the simplified version. Add a final check that compares the simplified source with the original to make sure no obligations, conditions or numbers were lost, and a list of sentences that need subject expert approval before use. Provide a short style guide of ten rules I can apply to future source texts. Also give me a one-sentence statement of what each paragraph is for, so the translator can see the purpose of the text.
