A chatgpt translate prompt for the moment you need a translation right now, not a standing setup: paste this into a fresh ChatGPT chat (it works the same in Claude and Gemini) and get a translation with control over formality and regional dialect. The AI Translator on this store is a fuller Skill installed once as a standing Project with a persistent glossary for repeated professional work; this prompt is the lightweight, no-install version for a single translation job.
You give it the text, the target language and dialect, the formality you want, and whether to adapt idioms naturally or translate literally. It hands back the translation matched to your source's structure, plus one short line on anything it adapted and why, so you are not left guessing what changed.
The same prompt works in Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, paste it and go, one payment, pay once, keep forever.
