| 1 | # Content Translation — Multilingual Publishing |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Translate publication-ready ContentForge content into 15+ languages while preserving brand voice integrity, citation accuracy, and SEO optimization. Three localization levels let you control the depth of cultural adaptation. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## When to Use |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Use `/contentforge:cf-translate` when you need: |
| 8 | - **Translated content** for international markets (15+ languages) |
| 9 | - **Brand-consistent multilingual content** that matches your source voice in the target language |
| 10 | - **SEO-localized content** with keywords adapted for target market search behavior |
| 11 | - **Citation-safe translations** where URLs, source references, and inline citations remain intact |
| 12 | - **Cultural adaptation** beyond word-for-word translation (adapted or transcreated levels) |
| 13 | |
| 14 | **Prerequisite:** Content must be produced (or imported) through the ContentForge pipeline first. Raw untreated content should go through `/contentforge:create-content` before translation. |

| 36 | ## Localization Levels |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ### Literal (Level 1) |
| 39 | **Word-for-word structural translation.** Preserves the exact document structure, sentence order, and paragraph boundaries. Translates meaning accurately but does not adapt cultural references, humor, or idiomatic expressions. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | **Best for:** Technical documentation, legal disclaimers, regulatory content, data-heavy research papers. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ### Adapted (Level 2) — Recommended |
| 44 | **Cultural adaptation with structural fidelity.** Adjusts cultural references (dates, currencies, idioms, humor) to resonate in the target market while preserving the original content structure and argument flow. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | **Best for:** Articles, blog posts, whitepapers, marketing content for established global brands. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ### Transcreated (Level 3) |
| 49 | **Reimagined for the target market.** Preserves the core message and intent but rebuilds the content to feel native in the target language. May restructure sections, replace examples, and adjust tone for maximum local impact. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | **Best for:** Advertising copy, brand storytelling, thought leadership targeting specific regional audiences. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ## Required Inputs |
| 54 | |
| 55 | **Minimum Required:** |
| 56 | - **Source Content** -- Google Drive URL, file ID, or local .docx path (must be ContentForge output) |
| 57 | - **Target Language** -- Language code from the supported list (e.g., `es`, `fr`, `de`) |
| 58 | - **Brand** -- Brand profile name (must exist, source language profile required) |
| 59 | |
| 60 | **Optional:** |
| 61 | - **Localization Level** -- `literal`, `adapted`, or `transcreated` (defaults to `adapted`) |
| 62 | - **Regional Variant** -- Specify when multiple variants exist (e.g., `es-latam`, `pt-br`, `fr-ca`) |
| 63 | - **Target Keywords** -- Override SEO keywords for target market (auto-researched if not provided) |
| 64 | - **Glossary Override** -- Brand-specific term translations that override defaults |
| 65 | |
