Step 0 — Initialize Your Translation System

Set up OpenClaw Ultra as your dedicated localization manager.

Operation Steps

1. Open OpenClaw Ultra new chat session
2. Paste the initialization prompt
3. Provide your terminology and style preferences

Ready-to-Use Prompt

Act as my professional translation and localization manager.

My content type: [documentation / marketing / UI strings / blog posts / emails]
Source language: [English / other]
Target languages:
1. [language 1 — e.g., Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)]
2. [language 2 — e.g., Japanese]
3. [language 3 — e.g., Spanish]
...

Brand terms to NEVER translate:
- [Brand name 1]
- [Product name 2]
- [Technical term 3]

Style preference: [formal / conversational / technical / marketing]
Regional variant: [e.g., Taiwan Traditional Chinese vs Simplified, Latin American Spanish vs European]

Build a complete translation system covering:
- terminology locking
- style-consistent translation
- regional adaptation
- quality verification
- batch processing

Step 1 — Establish Terminology & Glossary

Lock critical terms to ensure consistency across all translations.

1.1 Brand Term Locking

Prompt

Create my translation glossary with these locked terms:

Brand names (never translate):
- [Brand 1]
- [Brand 2]

Product names (never translate):
- [Product 1]
- [Product 2]

Technical terms (never translate):
- API, HTTP, SSL, SEO, REST, OAuth
- [industry-specific terms]

File paths and URLs (never translate):
- /wp-json/wp/v2/posts
- https://example.com

Save this as my permanent locked glossary.
Apply these rules to all future translations.

1.2 Terminology Mapping

Prompt

Create a terminology mapping table for my target languages:

| English | Traditional Chinese | Japanese | Spanish | German |
|---------|--------------------|----------|---------|-------|
| [term] | [translation] | [translation] | [translation] | [translation] |
...

Rules:
- Use region-appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 外掛 for Taiwan, 插件 for Simplified)
- Include industry-specific terms
- Mark any terms that should stay in English with "(keep)"
- Add notes for terms with multiple possible translations

Save this as my permanent terminology database.

Step 1 Output

Locked glossary and terminology mapping for consistent translations.

Step 2 — Translate Single Content

Process individual documents or text blocks.

2.1 Document Translation

Prompt

Translate this content into [target language]:

[paste source content]

Rules:
- Follow my locked glossary (never translate brand/technical terms)
- Match the tone: [formal/conversational/technical]
- Use [regional variant] vocabulary
- Preserve all markdown formatting (# headings, **bold**, `code`, tables)
- Preserve all URLs and file paths exactly
- Translate natural language in code blocks, keep field names as-is
- Localize placeholder text: [your niche] → [localized version]

2.2 UI String Translation

Prompt

Translate these UI strings into [target language]:

[paste strings]

Rules:
- Keep translations concise (UI space constraints)
- Maintain consistent terminology with my glossary
- Preserve any variables: {username}, {count}, etc.
- Use standard UI vocabulary for the target locale
- Flag any strings that might be too long for the UI

Output format:
| Key | English | [Target Language] | Notes |

2.3 Marketing Copy Translation

Prompt

Translate this marketing content into [target language]:

[paste content]

Rules:
- Transcreate (adapt the message, not just translate)
- Maintain persuasive tone and emotional impact
- Use culturally appropriate examples and references
- Keep brand voice consistent
- Adapt CTAs to local conventions
- Preserve formatting and emphasis

If a direct translation would feel unnatural, suggest a localized alternative and explain why.

Step 2 Output

Translated content that reads naturally in the target language.

Step 3 — Adapt Style & Regional Variants

Fine-tune translations for specific regions and audiences.

3.1 Regional Variant Selection

Prompt

I need this content in [language] for [specific region].

Examples:
- Traditional Chinese for Taiwan (use: 外掛, 使用者, 伺服器)
- Traditional Chinese for Hong Kong (use: 插件, 用户, 伺服器)
- Spanish for Latin America (use: usted, computadora)
- Spanish for Spain (use: tú, ordenador)
- Portuguese for Brazil (use: você, celular)
- Portuguese for Portugal (use: o senhor, telemóvel)

Apply regional vocabulary and conventions throughout.

3.2 Tone Calibration

Prompt

Adjust the tone of this translation to [target tone]:

Current translation: [paste translated content]

Tone options:
- More formal: increase professional vocabulary, use honorifics
- More casual: use colloquial expressions, shorter sentences
- More technical: use precise terminology, detailed explanations
- More friendly: add warmth, use conversational connectors

Maintain accuracy while adjusting the voice.

Step 3 Output

Region-appropriate, tone-matched translations.

Step 4 — Quality Review & Verification

Ensure translation accuracy and consistency.

4.1 Accuracy Check

Prompt

Review this translation for accuracy:

Source: [paste original]
Translation: [paste translation]
Target language: [language]

Check for:
- Mistranslations or incorrect meaning
- Omitted content
- Added content not in the original
- Technical accuracy
- Grammar and spelling errors

Output:
- List of issues found (with line references)
- Suggested corrections
- Overall quality score (1-10)

4.2 Term Consistency Check

Prompt

Verify terminology consistency in this translation:

[paste translated content]

Check against my glossary:
- Are all locked terms preserved in English?
- Are translated terms consistent with my terminology mapping?
- Are there any inconsistent translations of the same term?

Output a consistency report with any deviations.

4.3 Fluency Review

Prompt

Review this translation for natural fluency:

[paste translated content]
Target language: [language]

Assess:
- Does it read like it was written by a native speaker?
- Are there any awkward phrasings or literal translations?
- Is the sentence structure natural for the target language?
- Are there any machine-translation artifacts?

Suggest improvements for any unnatural passages.

Step 4 Output

Quality-verified translations ready for publishing.

Step 5 — Batch Processing

Handle multiple files or large content volumes.

5.1 Multi-File Translation

Prompt

Translate these files into [target languages]:

File 1: [filename] — [brief description]
File 2: [filename] — [brief description]
File 3: [filename] — [brief description]

For each file:
1. Apply my locked glossary
2. Follow my style guide
3. Preserve all formatting
4. Output translated version with language code suffix
   (e.g., doc.md → doc-zh-cht.md, doc-ja.md)

Report: files processed, any issues encountered, word count per language.

5.2 Batch Quality Summary

Prompt

Generate a quality summary for this batch translation:

Files translated: [list]
Languages: [list]

For each file-language pair:
- Term consistency score
- Any flagged issues
- Recommended revisions

Output: batch translation quality dashboard.

Step 5 Output

Completed batch translations with quality summary report.

Final Closed-Loop Translation Workflow

Terminology Locked → Content Translated → Style Adapted →
Quality Reviewed → Corrections Applied → Batch Processed →
Output Delivered → Feedback Loop to Terminology Database

Practical Usage Tips

1. Always lock your glossary before starting translations — it prevents costly rework
2. Translate in batches by language (all Spanish first, then Japanese) for consistency
3. Review translations in the context they'll be used (UI strings in the app, docs in the viewer)
4. Keep a running list of terms that need translation decisions — don't guess, standardize
5. For marketing content, prioritize transcreation over literal translation
6. Use the same translator (AI session) for related content to maintain voice consistency
7. Build language-specific style guides over time based on reviewer feedback
