Guide: Translating French ↔ English (Full workflow for accuracy, style, and efficiency)

1) Prepare before translating

• Identify purpose: formal, literary, technical, casual, subtitles, or SEO — this determines register and literal vs. adaptive approach.
• Know the audience: native speakers, learners, professionals; adjust terminology and explanations accordingly.
• Gather context: full document, surrounding paragraphs, subject-matter glossaries, and any style guides or reference translations.

9) Machine translation + human editing workflow

• Step 1: Choose high-quality MT (e.g., modern neural models).
• Step 2: Pre-edit source (clear up typos, normalize punctuation) to improve MT output.
• Step 3: Post-edit MT output—fix grammar, idiom, register, and unresolved ambiguities.
• Step 4: Proofread with fresh eyes or a QA pass focusing on consistency and terminology.

• Note: Ensure your game is updated to the latest Japanese version (usually 1.02 or higher) before applying the English patch to avoid compatibility issues.
