Prompt que faz o ChatGPT prever como falhará antes de começar

Here’s my prediction of the top five ways I’ll likely fail at the translation task, each with a preventive instruction you could add: 1. **Misunderstanding “preserve VERBATIM”** – I might accidentally translate placeholders like `[X]` or `{x}` into Portuguese (e.g., turning `[X]` into `[Xis]`), or alter the spacing around them. *Preventive instruction:* “Treat every placeholder, code key, and flag exactly as a string of characters – do not translate, reorder, or add spaces around them; copy them byte-for-byte.” 2. **Assuming you want natural Portuguese flow** – I might rephrase a sentence to sound more idiomatic, breaking the 1:1 structure you asked for (e.g., merging two lines into one). *Preventive instruction:* “Keep the exact number of sentences, line breaks, and punctuation marks as in the original – do not merge, split, or reorder any clause.” 3. **Getting generic with technical terms** – I might translate “param flags” or “in-image text” into vague Portuguese like “parâmetros” or “texto na imagem” when you might prefer keeping them in English or using a specific technical term. *Preventive instruction:* “For any term that is a brand, model, or technical jargon (e.g., ‘param flags’, ‘in-image text’), keep it in English unless it’s a common Portuguese word – otherwise, translate only the surrounding prose.” 4. **Hedging on ambiguous punctuation** – I might replace an em-dash with a comma or semicolon instead of the required ` - ` (space-hyphen-space), or accidentally use an en-dash. *Preventive instruction:* “Wherever the original uses an em-dash, replace it with exactly ` - ` (space, hyphen, space). Do not use any other dash type or punctuation substitute.” 5. **Genuinely hard: preserving quoted in-image text** – If the original has quotes around text that appears inside an image, I might translate the quoted content (since it’s “text”) when you might want it left as-is, or vice versa. *Preventive instruction:* “For any quoted string that represents text inside an image, copy it exactly as written – do not translate it, even if it’s a full sentence. Only translate the surrounding narrative.” I’ll wait for your response before proceeding with the actual task.
