Checking a translation against the original

## Prompt

Compare this original: {original}, with this translation: {translation}. Context and mandatory terms: {terms}. Look for omissions, additions, incorrect negations, numbers, modality and inconsistent terminology. Return only problematic passages: original, translation, risk to meaning and correction. Do not improve style at the expense of accuracy. Flag ambiguous source wording as a question for the author. Separately list any changes to names, dates or units.

## Template fields

- `{original}` — Original. Example input: Source text in any language the model knows
- `{translation}` — Translation. Example input: Completed translation for comparison
- `{terms}` — Context and terminology. Example input: Text purpose and agreed vocabulary
