Rewriting

Translate a cold email naturally

Translate a cold email into another language so it reads like a local wrote it.

The prompt
Translate this cold email into {{language}} for prospects in {{country}}:

{{email}}

Rules:
- Natural business tone for {{country}}, not word-for-word. Use the usual level of formality there (for example, formal "you" where that's normal).
- Keep it as short as the original.
- Keep {{tags}} exactly as they are, in English.
- Flag anything that wouldn't work in {{country}} (an idiom, a date format, a reference) and suggest a local alternative.
Example of what it writes
Hallo {{firstName}},

viele Agenturen Ihrer Größe leben von Empfehlungen... (note: 'quarter' kept as 'Quartal'; the US example swapped for a German one.)

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy it into any AI tool, such as ChatGPT or Claude.
  2. Replace each {{field}} with real details about you and the person you're writing to. The more specific they are, the less generic the result.
  3. Check every fact, name and number in what comes back: AI can sound sure about things that aren't true.
  4. Cut it down if it runs long. A cold email reads best under about 75 words.
  5. Send it to yourself and read it on your phone before anyone else sees it.
