Localize product UI strings

Translates short interface text within length limits, rewriting what becomes awkward when translated literally.

Prompt
Localize these UI strings.

For each string output: original / translation / character count / note.

Rules:
1. Respect the length limit. If a faithful translation does not fit, give a shorter rewrite and mark it "shortened" — do not silently truncate.
2. Keep the same term for the same concept across every string. List your term choices at the end as a glossary.
3. Match the product tone I describe. Register matters more than literal accuracy in UI text.
4. *Do not translate placeholders, variables, or code tokens* such as {0}, %s, or :name. Carry them through untouched and keep their position sensible in the target grammar.
5. Where a string is ambiguous without seeing the screen, mark it "needs context" and say what you would need to know. Guessing here produces confident nonsense.
6. Flag strings that will break if the target language pluralizes or orders differently.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Product tone · Length limit · UI strings)

What this prompt does

UI translation is not sentence translation: strings must fit the control, match the product's register, and stay identical across screens. This checks length overruns and term inconsistency first.
