Use of an LLM as an editor

I write article in English, then translate it to French. This seems easier for me than the other direction. As I am not a native English speaker, I am using LLMs to edit the English content or to translate to French. Since French is my mother tongue, I edit the French result myself.

Translating

Using Claude 3.5 Sonnet, I use the following prompt, then copy/paste Markdown content, with the exception of code blocks:

Translate to French the following text, keep markdown markup, and enclose the result in a code block. For links, keep the original references.

Editing

Using Claude 3.5 Sonnet, I use the following prompt, then copy/paste Markdown content, with the exception of code blocks:

Edit the following text, keep markdown markup, and enclose the result in a code block. There is no need to add comments. You can include very light stylistic edit but avoid using prnoun-verb contractions and keep a casual tone. The target is a technical audience who may not be English-native speakers (CEFR B2 level).
