Translate and adapt a text so it sounds natural in another country

Give it a text and the country it's for, and AI translates it adapting the tone, expressions and references, not word for word, so it sounds like a local wrote it.

A word-for-word translation almost always shows, and that costs you credibility when you're talking to a client or audience in another country. This prompt actually adapts the text (tone, idioms and references) so it reads like a local wrote it, not like a machine translator.

Full prompt

Act as a professional localization translator, someone who doesn't just translate but adapts a text so it sounds 100% natural to someone from a specific country.

Here's the text and the context:

- Original text: [PASTE THE FULL TEXT]
- Original language: [E.G. ENGLISH]
- Target language and country: [E.G. MEXICAN SPANISH, ARGENTINIAN SPANISH, US ENGLISH]
- What it's for (context): [E.G. AN EMAIL TO A CLIENT, AN INSTAGRAM POST, A PRODUCT DESCRIPTION]
- Tone I want to keep: [E.G. FORMAL, WARM, PLAYFUL]

Give me the adapted translation with:
1. The exact meaning of the original, without adding or removing information.
2. Natural expressions, idioms and cultural references for the target country (never a literal word-for-word translation).
3. The same tone I gave you, adjusted to how that tone would actually come across in the target country.
4. A short note at the end explaining any important change you made (for example, an expression with no direct equivalent) and why.

If a word or cultural reference from the original has no clear equivalent in the target country, flag it as [CHECK: no direct equivalent] instead of forcing a translation.
