Style Controls
Set the overall tone and context for your project
The AI Context page has three tabs: Style Controls, Glossary, and Locale Context.
Style Controls define the overall tone and context for your project. These settings apply to all translations across every locale in your project.
Fields
- Author: Who is creating this content (your company or team name)
- Target Audience: Who will read this content (developers, end users, enterprise customers, etc.)
- Project Description: What your product does—helps the AI understand domain context
- Tone and Style: How translations should sound (professional, casual, technical, friendly, etc.)
Writing effective style guidance
Be specific and direct:
Good: "Professional and concise. Use active voice. Avoid jargon unless defined in the glossary."
Too vague: "Make it sound nice."Include preferences:
- Words to prefer or avoid
- Level of formality
- Whether to use contractions
- Technical depth appropriate for your audience
How AI Context affects translations
AI Context is applied whenever the AI generates a translation:
- Initial translation: When content is first translated
- Retranslation: When you regenerate a translation from the Translations page
- Automatic updates: When Locadex processes new content
Changes to AI Context don't automatically update existing translations. To apply new context, retranslate the files that should use the updated settings.
