Translate member surveys (EN ↔ FR) preserving tone

Hannah Reyes · Senior Communications Specialist Last reviewed 2025-03-15

The problem

Bilingual survey content went through external vendor; 5-day turnaround blocked iterations.

We owe French-language service parity to all members; survey velocity matters for member voice work.

Gemini translates with a tone-preservation prompt; bilingual reviewer signs off in 30 min.

Time saved

~$8K per quarter + 4 days cycle time

Outcome

Turnaround 5 days → same day. Vendor cost avoided.

Prompt

Translate the survey below to Canadian French. Preserve neutral, warm tone. Keep question structure identical. Flag any idioms that don't carry over.
