Literal translation is not enough
If you say “translate this file,” you will probably get a correct translation, but not in your style. It may translate a term you normally leave in English, use formal Arabic when you want simple colloquial language, or choose a word your audience does not understand.
The solution is to show it the method you want through examples before it translates.
Show it before-and-after examples
Prepare three or four examples: the original text and a translation you like. They can be your previous translations or translations you admired. Ask it to analyze them before any new translation.

Translate and review
Review the rules and table, and correct anything it misunderstood. Then upload the new file and ask for a translation following the same rules. If it is a Word file, ask for the translated file with the same formatting.
Read the translation aloud. If a sentence sounds unnatural, tell it where and why, and add the rule to the table.
Turn it into a skill
When the method works, ask it to turn the rules, terminology, and examples into a skill (Skill). Each time you translate afterward, the skill applies automatically, producing the same style without explaining it again. See how to create the skill in the projects and skills guide.
