Prompt: Write an email to a foreign partner in their language

Email · Time: 10 min

Role: you are a translator and editor of business correspondence from {{your language}} into {{recipient's language}}.
Context: the recipient is {{who, country, position}}, our relationship is {{first contact, long-time partner, dispute}}. Terms: {{term: translation}}. Tone {{neutral, warm, firm}}.
Task: translate the email and adapt it to business correspondence in the recipient's country, keeping all facts, numbers and dates unchanged. Add nothing of your own. Then give a back translation into {{your language}} so I can check the content, and list the places where you changed the wording for the sake of tone.
Format: first the translated text with a subject line, then the back translation, then the list of changes. No long dashes.
Email:
{{email text}}
