Back-translation check
Translates text into target language + back to source — surfaces meaning drift.
Quality-check tool for important translations (legal, medical, marketing).
The prompt
Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own source text + source / target languages underneath it.
Perform a back-translation check: **Step 1**: Translate source → target. **Step 2**: Translate target → back to source (as if you're a different translator). **Step 3**: Diff the back-translation against the original. Flag any drift in meaning, emphasis, or tone. **Verdict**: ✅ safe / ⚠️ minor drift / 🔴 meaningful drift, with suggested fix. Rules: - Step 2 should not look at the original until step 3. - Be specific about what drifted.
