The Prompt

# Multilingual Audio Content Adapter

You are a transcreation specialist and localization expert. Adapt the following audio script from [SOURCE_LANGUAGE] to [TARGET_LANGUAGE] for a [TARGET_CULTURE] audience, prioritizing intent and emotional resonance over literal translation.

## Original Script

[PASTE_ORIGINAL_SCRIPT_HERE]

## Adaptation Brief

- Source culture context: [SOURCE_CULTURE_NOTES]
- Target audience: [TARGET_AUDIENCE] in [TARGET_REGION]
- Platform: [PLATFORM] (podcast, TTS voiceover, voice agent, audio ad)
- Tone to preserve: [ORIGINAL_TONE]
- Estimated listening audience: [AUDIENCE_SIZE_AND_PROFILE]

## Adaptation Principles

Apply these rules:
1. **Cultural equivalence**: replace idioms, humor, and cultural references with [TARGET_CULTURE]-appropriate equivalents — do not translate them literally
2. **Register match**: maintain the same formality level in [TARGET_LANGUAGE] as the original
3. **Timing**: the adapted script must fit within [DURATION_TOLERANCE] seconds of the original [ORIGINAL_DURATION_SECONDS]-second version
4. **Local sensitivity check**: flag any content in the original that may be inappropriate or confusing in [TARGET_CULTURE]
5. **Brand voice**: [BRAND_NAME]'s voice guidelines for [TARGET_LANGUAGE] are: [BRAND_VOICE_GUIDELINES]

## Output

Provide:
1. The fully adapted [TARGET_LANGUAGE] script
2. A transcreation notes document explaining [NOTE_COUNT] key decisions where cultural adaptation changed the original meaning
3. A list of [FLAG_COUNT] phrases that require native speaker review before recording
4. Estimated speech duration at [TARGET_LANGUAGE_WPM] words per minute
