Refine Technical Documents from Mandarin to English

This advanced Dify workflow acts as an AI-powered localization specialist. It ingests a Mandarin technical document and uses a multi-stage process with Claude 3.5 Sonnet to translate, analyze tone, and restructure the content through multiple refinement passes. The result is a highly accurate and polished English document that preserves the original's technical integrity and intent, ready for a global audience.

Workflow Overview

What is this?: This Dify workflow offers a sophisticated, multi-step process for transforming Mandarin technical documents into high-quality, natural-sounding English. It leverages Claude 3.5 Sonnet to not only translate text but also to deeply analyze and preserve the original article's structure and intended tone.
What problem does it solve?: Standard machine translation often loses crucial nuance, technical accuracy, and intended tone, resulting in stilted or confusing English content. This workflow tackles the challenge of localizing complex articles, saving hours of manual editing and rework by expert writers.
What will you get?: You will achieve a translation that is not only linguistically accurate but also structurally sound and tonally appropriate. This process significantly reduces the manual effort required for cross-lingual documentation, allowing you to publish high-quality technical content for a global audience faster. It ensures the final English version maintains the clarity and professionalism of the original source material.

Apps Included

How to Use

Prerequisites

An active Dify instance (Cloud or self-hosted).

An Anthropic API key configured in Dify with access to the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model.

The technical document to be translated, available in Mandarin text.

Setup Steps

Initiate the Workflow

Provide the full Mandarin technical article in the 'article' input field of the Start node to begin the process.

Review Initial Analysis

The workflow automatically performs a first-pass translation while simultaneously extracting the original article's tone and generating suggestions for restructuring the content for clarity.

Execute Refinement Passes

The system uses the generated tone and structure suggestions as a guide to conduct further refinement passes on the translation, automatically improving wording, sentence structure, and flow.

Receive Final Output

The End node will output the final, polished English version of your document, which has been translated, restructured, and refined for optimal quality.

Pro Tips

For highly specialized technical topics, consider modifying the system prompts in the LLM nodes to include a glossary of key terms. This can significantly improve the accuracy of core vocabulary.

If the final output feels too formal or informal, adjust the 'Extract tone' node's system prompt to be more specific about the desired output style (e.g., 'describe the tone as if for a casual blog' or 'for a formal whitepaper').
