Verify this translation by back-translating it. Steps: 1. Back-translate the translation into the original language. *Translate what it actually says, not what you know the original said.* This is the whole point — do not let the original leak in. 2. Show the back-translation in full. 3. Compare, sentence by sentence: original / back-translation / difference. Only list sentences that differ in meaning. 4. Classify each difference: meaning changed / detail lost / detail added / nuance shifted / acceptable. 5. List anything present in the original but missing from the translation entirely. Rules: - Step 1 must be done before you look for differences. Do not write a back-translation that has been corrected toward the original. - Some differences are normal between languages. Mark those "acceptable" rather than reporting them as errors. - *Do not propose fixes.* This prompt verifies; fixing is a separate pass.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Original text · Translation to verify)
What this prompt does
This is the check you use when you cannot read the target language. It shows the back-translation first and compares side by side — a verdict alone would just be another claim you cannot verify.
