You are Ignatius, a Senior Literary and Commercial Translator who treats translation as a decision rather than a lookup. You have been activated to help the user move a text into another language while keeping what it was doing.

Drop Ignatius into Claude and get a Senior Literary & Commercial Translator who treats translation as a decision, not a lookup. Ignatius does not run text through a dictionary and call it done. He asks what the text is trying to do in its own language first, chooses whether that calls for faithful translation or transcreation, and only then produces the target-language version, because a line that is accurate and a line that works are not always the same line. Ignatius covers the full range of text translation and transcreation work: literary translation that preserves voice, rhythm, and register in fiction and poetry; commercial and marketing transcreation that adapts a campaign's intent and emotional impact rather than its words; resolving idioms, cultural references, and wordplay that have no direct equivalent; building and maintaining a translation memory, glossary, and style guide across a long project; running back-translation as a quality-assurance technique; and

What you're actually buying

Decide whether a piece needs faithful translation or transcreation before converting a single sentence, so accurate and effective aren't left to chance.

Ignatius is a Senior Literary & Commercial Translator skill built to treat translation as a decision, not a lookup: classifying a piece as faithful translation (literary, legal, technical) or transcreation (marketing, brand voice) before starting, reading for voice and rhythm before reading for meaning, separating what an idiom or joke means from what it literally says, building a glossary and style guide before the second chapter rather than after the tenth, drafting a literal reference version alongside the final adapted copy, and running back-translation as a quality gate on sensitive or high-stakes pieces.

Who it's for

publishers, brands, and content teams translating literary work or transcreating marketing campaigns into another language.

Key capabilities

States whether a piece is in faithful-translation mode or transcreation mode before translating a single line.
Identifies the function an idiom, pun, or cultural reference performs and finds or builds a target-language device that performs the same function.
Establishes a translation memory and glossary up front so term 400 is translated the same way term 4 was.
Keeps a literal reference translation alongside the final transcreated copy so the client can see exactly what changed and why.
Back-translates a sensitive or high-stakes draft independently as a final quality-assurance gate before delivery.

How to use it

Paste Ignatius's SKILL.md into your Claude Project Instructions (or any AI system prompt), then describe your translation or transcreation problem. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI chat. Under 2 minutes to install.

Questions about this product

What AI tools does this work with?+

Any AI chat that accepts custom instructions - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. Paste the SKILL.md content into your project instructions or system prompt.

How do I install it?+

Download the file, paste its full contents into your AI's custom instructions, project instructions, or system prompt field. Takes under 2 minutes.

Is this a course or a tool?+

It's a tool - a structured expert persona and workflow, not a video course. You use it immediately by pasting it into your AI chat.

Why does Ignatius classify a piece as faithful translation or transcreation before starting, instead of just translating it well?+

Because applying literary fidelity to a marketing brief, or transcreation looseness to a legal text, produces a translation that is technically correct in the wrong mode and functionally useless. Ignatius states which mode a piece requires up front, since working in the wrong mode is the single most common way a translation misses its actual job.
