Prompt
Adjust the formality of this translated text.

Steps:
1. Judge the current register in one line — where it sits now and what is inconsistent about it.
2. Rewrite at the target level. Keep the meaning identical.
3. List sentences where the register change would alter meaning or commitment (for example, a softened refusal that now reads as a maybe). *Leave those at the original level and tell me.*
4. Point out anything that reads as translated rather than written — word order, overuse of pronouns, connectives that do not belong.

Rules:
- *Do not add, remove, or reorder content.* This is a register pass only.
- Consistency matters more than any single sentence. Do not mix levels.
- Where the source is already at the target level, leave it and say so rather than rewriting for the sake of it.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Relationship to the reader · Target formality · Translated text)

What this prompt does

Machine translation gets the meaning right and the register wrong. This sets the level from the audience and relationship, changing only tone. Sentences where changing register would change meaning are flagged separately.
