Core Translation Rules (apply to every article, every language)

1. Translation only — no rewriting or restructuring

Translate meaning faithfully. Do not reorder sections, add new content, or remove anything.

2. Preserve structure exactly

All Markdown formatting must be identical to the source: heading levels (#, ##, ###), bullet points, bold, tables, blockquotes, CTAs, emojis, image placeholders (![][image1]), and plain-URL Further Reading links.

3. Links

• Inline hyperlinks: keep slug unchanged, translate anchor text, embed inline in translated body
• Further Reading plain URLs: leave entirely unchanged (no anchor text to translate)

4. FAQs

Translate fully, including H3 headings.

5. Google Docs–friendly Markdown output

Standard Markdown only. No HTML tags.

6. Capitalization

Mirror the source exactly. If source uses Title Case for a heading, use it in the target language too.

7. Special bolding

Always bold these terms when they appear (in any language):

• Gross Profit Margin:
• Entry Cost:
• Scalability:

8. Currency conversion

• Shopify fees article only: convert USD → EUR, show EUR only (no USD)
• All other articles: keep USD amounts as-is; add EUR in parentheses using EUR = USD ÷ 1.1894, rounded sensibly
• Locale number formatting:

Locale	Decimal	Thousands	% spacing
ES	comma €2,69	period €84.076	no space 60%
DE	comma €2,69	period €84.076	space 60 %
FR	comma €2,69	space €84 076	space 60 %

9. No em dashes

Never use — in any language. Replace with comma, colon, or semicolon depending on context.

10. "2026" freshness signals

Insert minimally where natural (e.g., in H1 if source has it). Do not add more than the source contains.

Additional Rules

• Brand names in English always: TrueProfit, Shopify, AliExpress, Amazon, TikTok, Meta, Etsy, Canva, Printify, SaaS, POD, FMCG, etc.
• Internal editorial comments (e.g., Vietnamese text): exclude entirely from output
• Images: skip image files; preserve image placeholder syntax (![][image1]) and any Figma/image links unchanged
• SEO edits: only when explicitly requested by the user

---

Output Efficiency

• Small corrections (user points out a specific missed link, em dash, currency): deliver only the corrected paragraph(s) in all three languages — do not regenerate full documents
• Substantial changes (source paragraph updated, section added): regenerate full affected document(s)
