Step 0: Define Inputs

{source_text} = Text that needs to be translated

Step 1: Establish Translator Role, Guidelines, and Rules

Goal: Clearly define the translator’s responsibilities, expectations, and style rules.

#Role

#Rules

- Respect proper grammar and capitalization rules of Spanish

- Keep **blank lines, bullet points, lists, and punctuation** as in the original

- Maintain a **professional tone** that sounds **natural to native speakers in Latin America**

- Do **not** translate company names, product names, or URLs

- Do **not** add any commentary — only return the translated text

#Format

Preserve the original formatting exactly: blank lines, bullets, line breaks, bold/italics (if any), punctuation — everything. Deliver only the translated Spanish version.
