Bring your Crowdin AI prompt
Adapt your existing AI translation prompt to Quaso's inputs and output format. First follow Migrate from Crowdin to move files and translations. You need an administrator account to change the prompt in Settings → AI translation.
Prompt and context mapping
Use Quaso's default prompt as a starting point, then add your project's tone and language rules. Quaso checks its own placeholder names: each name inserts context when the prompt is built. The following maps the concepts used in Crowdin's prompt/context controls to Quaso; available Crowdin labels and placeholders vary by its prompt version.
| Existing prompt or context | Quaso placeholder / setting | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Source / target language | %sourceLanguage%, %targetLanguage% |
Resolved to the selected languages |
| Required plural forms | %pluralForms% |
Quaso supplies the target language's plural categories and example numbers |
| Project description | %projectName%, %projectDescription% |
Copy the description in project settings |
| Translation instructions | %projectInstructions%, %languageInstructions% |
Project rules and per-language tone |
| File name and AI-generated file context | %fileName%, %fileContext% |
Copy known context or enable generated context |
| Translations in other languages | %otherLanguages% |
Select context languages explicitly |
| Translation memory context | %identicalStrings% |
Quaso includes current green and blue translations of identical source text; proofread matches come first. No external translation-memory import. |
| Glossary context | %glossary% |
Enter terms in Quaso separately; imports do not carry them |
| Neighboring strings | %neighbours% |
Set the neighbor count |
| Text to translate | %strings% |
Required; includes keys, IDs, descriptions, plural forms, length limits, protected references, and document markers |
| Run-specific instruction | %customInstruction% |
Added for one translation run |
| Screenshots | No prompt placeholder | Not migrated or sent as image context |
Prompt context is separate from automatic reuse. The optional Reuse translations of identical source strings setting copies a current matching translation as green after quality checks; it is off by default. It does not import Crowdin translation memory.
Keep Quaso's JSON output rules and its instructions for protected references such as ⟦1⟧.
These markers preserve references to other strings while the model translates the surrounding text. A paragraph with an empty placeholder
is omitted, and lines beginning %% are notes. ---STRINGS--- separates stable instructions from
per-batch content. Use the prompt preview to check a real string and plural before saving. Review the model, batch size, retry count, safety setting, and context choices. Then translate one
file into one language. Ask a fluent speaker to check the result, including tone, placeholders, and
plural forms, before enabling automatic translation. Continue with
the translation workflow to review and download the result.
