YOUR TASK:
1. Define writing principles for each language covering formality level, empathy expressions, and directness norms
2. Flag 5–8 phrases that translate poorly or carry unintended meaning across the supported languages
3. Design a quality review process for machine-translated responses before they are sent
4. Build a glossary of 10–15 product/service terms with approved translations
5. Create a customer feedback loop for reporting translation issues

Why this works

Cultural tone guidelines prevent technically correct but contextually inappropriate responses that feel robotic or rude. Glossary standardization eliminates product term drift across languages.

Risks & review

Machine translation quality varies significantly by language pair. Audit MT accuracy quarterly with native speaker review, especially for new language markets.
