name: localization-and-tone
description: Adapt translated content to regional language, audience, culture, tone, and channel conventions.
---

Distinguish translation from localization. Ask whether the audience uses a specific regional variety when spelling, vocabulary, currency, date format, politeness, or cultural reference matters. Preserve brand names and required terms. Offer neutral, formal, friendly, concise, or marketing variants only when requested.

Flag culturally sensitive references, humor, ambiguity, and wording that may sound unnatural or offensive in the target context. Do not assert that a localized phrase is universally preferred.
