You are translating for a civil society organisation. Translate the text below from [SOURCE LANGUAGE] into [TARGET LANGUAGE].

Rules:
1. Translate the meaning, not word by word. Keep the register formal and plain.
2. Add nothing, remove nothing, soften nothing. If the source is vague, stay vague.
3. Copy every name, number, date and quotation exactly as it appears in the source. Keep each number in the digit form the source uses, and say so where the source mixes digits: ١٢٣ alongside 123.
4. The first time a legal or technical term appears, put the original word in brackets after your translation.
5. Mark anything you are unsure about with [CHECK] inside the translation.

Give me, in this order:
A. The translation.
B. A table with two columns: the source term, and the wording you chose for it.
C. Every [CHECK] you marked, with one line each saying why.

If you are reading on a phone, replace the table with one block per row: a heading line, then one short labelled line per column.

Below is a list of published items from this week: headline, outlet, date, and a link or a short extract for each.

Rules:
1. Use only the items below. Add no background from your own knowledge.
2. Group them into themes. Name each theme in plain words.
3. Merge items that report the same event into one line, and list every outlet that reported it. If two outlets contradict each other, keep both versions in that line and write CONTRADICTION.
4. Mark SINGLE SOURCE where only one outlet reports something.
5. Dates may arrive in mixed digits: ١٢٣ alongside 123. Copy each date as it appears in the item.
6. Do not judge whether a claim is true. If an item does not say who or when, write "the item does not say".

Give me, in this order:
A. The themes, most reported first. Under each theme, one line per item: what is claimed, which outlet, what date.
B. Everything marked SINGLE SOURCE or CONTRADICTION, as one list.
C. What is missing: which of these stories has no follow-up, and which claims nobody has answered.
D. Five lines a colleague could read aloud in a meeting.

Write a press release and three social posts about the finding below. Use only what I give you.

The finding, in one sentence: [WRITE IT]
The number, exactly as it must appear: [WRITE IT, WITH ITS UNIT AND ITS PERIOD]
Where the number comes from: [OUR REPORT, ITS DATE, ITS PAGE]
The quote, and the role of the person who said it: [PASTE THE QUOTE AND THE ROLE]
What we are asking for: [THE ONE ACTION YOU WANT]
What we have not established: [WHATEVER OUR MATERIAL DOES NOT PROVE]

Rules:
1. Never change the number, its unit or its period. Do not round it, do not convert it, do not write it as a word.
2. Copy the digits as I typed them, whether they are ١٢٣ or 123.
3. Do not add a cause. If we did not establish why, do not explain why.
4. No adjectives that overstate: unprecedented, shocking, historic.
5. Keep the quote word for word.
6. If a detail is missing, write [MISSING] in the draft. Do not fill it in yourself.

Give me, in this order:
A. A press release: headline under 12 words, three short paragraphs, the quote, then the ask.
B. Three posts, each under 240 characters, each carrying the number and the ask, no hashtags unless I gave you one.
C. Every sentence that needs sign-off before publication, quoted, and who should sign it.
D. The three questions a journalist will ask first, and whether our material answers them.

Below is one section of our own report, with identifying details already removed. Translate it into English for a donor. Carry the meaning across at exactly the strength the source gives it, never stronger.

Rules:
1. Keep every claim at source strength. "We observed" must not become "we established". "Some participants said" must not become "participants said". Every hedge in the source stays a hedge in the English.
2. Add nothing. If the source does not say who, how many, where or when, do not supply it.
3. Copy every figure and date exactly, and keep mixed digits (١٢٣ alongside 123) in the form each one appears.
4. Where the source is unclear, translate it literally and mark it [CHECK]. Do not make it read well.
5. Section A is the English translation. Write sections B, C and D in the language named above.

Give me, in this order:
A. The translation.
B. Every sentence where your English is stronger, broader or more certain than the source: the source wording on one line, your wording on the next, then one line saying what changed. Write "none" only if there are none.
C. Every [CHECK], one line each, saying what is unclear in the source.
D. Every place where you used a term the source did not use, with the source word beside it.

Below is an Arabic text, then a Kurdish Sorani translation of it. Compare the two. You are checking a translation, not producing one.

Rules:
1. Work line by line, in the order of the Arabic.
2. Copy the Arabic line and the Sorani line as they are. Write the verdict and the note in the language named above.
3. Give each line one verdict only: same meaning, weaker, stronger, missing, added.
4. Where the verdict is not "same meaning", add one plain sentence saying what the difference is. No grammar terms.
5. Treat every figure, date and name as a line of its own. Mixed digits (١٢٣ alongside 123) count as a difference and must be reported.
6. Never offer a corrected wording, not once. Reporting the difference is the whole job.

Give me, in this order:
A. A table, one row per line of the Arabic: the Arabic line, the Sorani line, the verdict, the note.
B. How many lines got each verdict.
C. The lines a fluent Sorani speaker should look at first, most serious first.
D. Last of all, this sentence: machine output in Kurdish Sorani needs a fluent speaker to read it before it is used anywhere.

If you are reading on a phone, replace the table with one block per row: a heading line, then one short labelled line per column.

Below is one paragraph of published official text: a regulation, a form instruction or a donor condition. Rewrite it in plain words in the language named above, as a message I can send to a community member as it stands.

Rules:
1. Short sentences, everyday words. Write so that a fourteen year old can read it once and know what to do.
2. Keep every number, date, deadline, amount, office name and place name exactly as written, including mixed digits (١٢٣ alongside 123).
3. Add nothing. No advice, no reassurance, no step and no office that is not in the paragraph. If the paragraph does not say who to contact or what happens next, write that it does not say.
4. Do not soften an obligation. If something is required, the message says it is required, and if there is a consequence for missing it, the message says that too.
5. Keep any word that has a legal effect and cannot be swapped for an everyday word. Then explain it once, in one line.

Give me, in this order:
A. The message, ready to send, at most eight short sentences.
B. What the reader must do, and by when, one line each.
C. Every word you had to keep technical, with a one line explanation of each.
D. Anything in the paragraph you could not make plain without changing its meaning.

The paragraph:

Write a short message that goes back to the people who attended a community meeting. It will be read aloud as well as sent, so write it to be spoken.

Rules:
1. Use no personal name, not even a first name. Say "the organisers", "a participant", "the health office".
2. Use no direct quotes. Write what was agreed, not who said what.
3. Promise nothing the notes do not contain. Where the notes do not say who will do a thing, write that it is not decided yet.
4. Short sentences, plain words. No jargon and no abbreviation a first-time reader would not know.
5. Where a date, a place or a figure is not in the notes, leave a clear gap marked [ADD BEFORE SENDING] instead of filling it in.

Give me one message, in this order, with no heading longer than one line:
A. What the meeting was about, and how many people came if the notes say so, in two or three sentences.
B. What was decided. One short sentence each.
C. What happens next, including the date of the next meeting, and what is still open.
D. How to raise something the meeting missed, in two sentences, using the contact line I paste below.

Build me a weekly routine for watching one topic. I have no paid tool and no budget. I will run every search by hand on a phone.

The topic: [WRITE THE TOPIC IN A FEW WORDS, AND THE PLACE NAME IF IT HAS ONE]

Rules:
1. You cannot search. Say so in one line at the top, and never report what anyone is saying about this topic now.
2. Search phrases only. No claim, no finding, no figure, and no name of an organisation you are not certain of.
3. Public sources only. Nothing that needs a login, a payment or a private group.
4. Do not ask me about my organisation, my colleagues or our funding. If a fact like that would change your answer, write it as a question for me to answer away from the tool.
5. Everything must fit inside thirty minutes a week.

Give me, in this order:
A. Eight to twelve search phrases. One per line, in this form: the phrase, then its language (Arabic, Kurdish or English), then the one public place to run it (a general search engine, a news search, the public search inside a platform I already use, or the website of the body that publishes on this topic). Cover all three languages, and write the Arabic and Kurdish phrases in their own script, not transliterated.
B. What to record for every hit, as four labelled lines and no more: date published, who published it, the one sentence that matters quoted exactly, and the link. Copy dates exactly as written, including mixed digits: ١٢٣ alongside 123.
C. The half hour, split into named steps with the minutes against each, ending with one step where I write three lines for a colleague.
D. What this routine will miss, and the two phrases most likely to return noise instead of hits.

Do not run the searches. Write the routine.

Below are public posts that look coordinated to me. Do NOT tell me whether they are coordinated, and do not estimate how likely it is. I need to know what to check.

Rules:
1. Never conclude that coordination happened. That conclusion is mine to reach or to drop.
2. Replace every account with Account 1, Account 2 and so on. Never repeat a handle, a display name or a description of a profile picture, and never say anything about the person behind an account.
3. Report only what is in the posts below. Do not add background from your own knowledge.
4. For every pattern, give the innocent explanation as well. Two accounts posting the same sentence may have copied the same public statement.

Give me, in this order:
A. The patterns to check, one block each, starting with timing, identical phrasing, account age and shared links. For each one: what to look at, the observation that would strengthen the reading, the observation that would weaken it, and the innocent explanation.
B. What the posts below already show, as observations only: repeated wording quoted exactly, times as they appear, links that appear more than once. No conclusion.
C. What cannot be decided from public posts at all, and what a person would have to obtain to decide it.
D. One sentence I can put in a note instead of the word "coordinated", describing only what was observed.

The posts:

I have a forwarded message and two minutes. I am standing up, on a phone. Do NOT tell me whether the message is true or false, and do not say how likely either is.

Rules:
1. Every check in section A must be doable in two minutes on a phone, with no computer, no account and no paid tool.
2. Public sources only. Do not send me to a login or to a payment.
3. Do not judge the message. Do not add facts of your own about the event it describes.
4. Keep each check to one line. Order them by what rules the message out fastest.

Give me, in this order:
A. The five checks, numbered, in order, each on one line, each ending with what a yes would mean and what a no would mean.
B. What would settle it: the one piece of evidence that would end the question, and the type of person or office that holds it. No names.
C. One sentence to send back to whoever forwarded it, if the checks do not settle it. It must ask where the message came from, and must not call it false.
D. What you cannot check here at all.

The message:

Below are photograph captions written by different people. Every caption is numbered. I need to know which ones make a claim we cannot support yet.

Rules:
1. A caption that describes what is visible is a description. A caption that names a place, a date, a cause, a number or a person is making a claim. Treat the two differently.
2. Do not decide whether a claim is true. Decide what evidence would be needed.
3. Never invent a detail, a place or a date. Never add a caption I did not paste.
4. Keep the wording of every caption exactly as written, including mixed digits: ١٢٣ alongside 123, and including spelling mistakes.
5. Every caption gets exactly one decision: publish, hold, or rewrite.
6. You cannot see the photographs. Where a decision depends on what the image actually shows, say so in the evidence column.

Give me, in this order:
A. A table, one row per caption: number, the caption as written, what it claims as fact, what evidence that claim would need, and the decision.
B. The rewrites, one for each caption marked rewrite, keeping only what a photograph can show and dropping the rest.
C. Every caption marked hold, with the one thing that would move it to publish.
D. Captions where you could not tell what was being claimed, and the question to put to the person who wrote it.

If you are reading on a phone, replace the table with one block per row: a heading line, then one short labelled line per column.

The captions:

Write three posts about the finding below: one in Arabic, one in Kurdish Sorani, one in English. Use only what I give you. Write your headings and your notes in the language named above. Each of the three posts stays in its own language.

The finding, in one sentence: [WRITE IT]
The figure, exactly as it must appear: [COPY IT, WITH ITS UNIT AND ITS PERIOD]
Where the figure comes from: [OUR PUBLISHED REPORT, ITS DATE, ITS PAGE]
The one ask: [THE ONE ACTION YOU WANT, AND WHO IT IS ADDRESSED TO]
What we have not established: [ANYTHING WE CANNOT SHOW]

Rules:
1. Copy the figure into all three posts exactly as I wrote it: same digits, same unit, same period. Never write it in words. Never round it. Do not turn 123 into ١٢٣ or ١٢٣ into 123 (mixed digits: ١٢٣ alongside 123).
2. The same single ask in all three posts. Do not add a second one.
3. Do not add a cause and do not overstate. If we have not shown why, no post explains why, and no post uses adjectives like unprecedented, shocking or historic.
4. Write each post so it reads naturally in its own language. Do not translate one post word for word into the next.
5. If a language has no natural short form for a term, write the term in full and say so in section D. Never invent a word.
6. Keep each post under 240 characters. Count the characters of each post and print the count beside it. If you are not certain of a count, say so instead of guessing.

Give me, in this order:
A. The three posts, in this order: Arabic, Kurdish Sorani, English. Label each one with its language and its character count, and put nothing else in this section.
B. The figure as it appears in each of the three posts, on three lines, so I can compare them at a glance.
C. Every sentence that needs sign-off before posting, quoted, and the role that should sign it.
D. Anything you could not say naturally: a term with no short form in one language, digits you would have written differently, a line you were unsure of.
