Loving CotranslatorAI! I used your prompt on client review yesterday with a client – new guy who speaks Spanish and thinks he’s a translator.  He edited one of our translations and does so as a second generation speaker.  The translator responded to the edits but I needed the client to understand in depth and used CotranslatorAI. I even added in the translator’s responses in the prompt: ‘Here  is what our translator said:’ The AI was brilliant in response!

Leverage sophisticated prompting strategies, refining your toolkit to fit your workflow needs. The following is only a sampling of potential roles, workflows, and use cases for prompting in CotranslatorAI. Each can be further developed in unlimited ways, and using a variety of prompt structures, keyboard shortcuts, and shortcut actions, not to mention languages. You are only restricted by the limits of the AI models themselves.

I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, CoPilot (and all their previous iterations) for tasks related to translation and multi-language editing. They all have limitations due to hallucinations, inability to follow instructions, and wasted time re-entering prompts. CotranslatorAI gets the job done faster and better at minimal cost.
