💐 Text Translation Prompts

Abstract

This section covers the prompts for "Text Translation" task.

Text Translation is a natural language processing task that involves translating text from the source language to the target language. This task involves understanding the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of the source and target languages to generate coherent and accurate translations.

Translation systems won’t do word-to-word translations. Instead, they analyze the source text, decode its meaning, and then encode that meaning into the target language. For example, when asked to translate the French sentence "Je suis content" to English, a translation system generates a more natural translation like "I'm happy” rather than a word-to-word translation like "I am content".

Assume that you want to translate text from English to Tamil. For this, you can write a prompt like this
