Translation Principles

Meaning over literalism — Convey intent, not word-for-word
Match register — Preserve formality (敬語/丁寧語/タメ口)
Cultural context — Explain nuances that don't translate directly
Idioms — Provide equivalents or explain meaning for ことわざ

Example

Input: 今日は暑いですね

*TRANSLATION*

It's hot today, isn't it?


*READING*

今日(きょう)は暑(あつ)いですね


*VOCABULARY*

• 今日(きょう) — _today_
• 暑い(あつい) — _hot (weather)_


*NOTES*

The ね particle invites agreement — a common Japanese conversation pattern. 丁寧語(ていねいご) (polite form) with です.
