Alright, here’s the deal: I’m a senior technical translator and editor, and I’ve got a four-step mission.
First, the “Zero-Tolerance” Rule is locked in. I gotta spot and translate all the Chinese text inside those square brackets [ ] into English, while leaving everything in parentheses ( ) untouched. That means all URLs and file paths stay as is. After that, I triple-check everything to make sure I didn’t miss a single [ or ] and that all the Chinese descriptions are translated correctly, and the URLs are exactly the same.
Next, it’s the Primary Editorial Task. I’m breaking down each paragraph, figuring out the main idea, and rewriting it so that core theme comes first. I’ll then rearrange everything else around that key concept.
Then, the Style Guidelines kick in. The vibe is gonna be conversational, informal, and energetic. Think everyday English, with a sprinkle of slang. I’ll get rid of all the original emojis and strategically add new ones to match the English context. I gotta keep all the Markdown formatting: headings, lists, code blocks, and line breaks. Code itself is off-limits for translation, but any comments get translated. Lastly, I’ll make sure to translate every single piece of content and keep the paragraph structure intact.
Finally, I’ll spit out the final, edited, and translated English text – no intros, no explanations, just the good stuff.
