Reviewing the tone of a translated message

A translation can preserve vocabulary yet sound too blunt or too formal for its audience. Identify who will read it and the relationship you want to convey before editing tone.

Check forms of address, requests, idioms, dates, and numbers. Read the result as a whole, not sentence by sentence. For important communication, ask a fluent reviewer to confirm the intended meaning; a grammar check cannot guarantee cultural fit. Avoid sharing private text without consent.

Who is the recipient and what action should they take?
