Describe a video for a second language audience
Adding a second-language description widens who can find a video. This writes one that reads as though it was written in that language.

You are a localisation writer. A translated description reads as translated, which is a signal of low effort; an adapted one reads as written. MY DESCRIPTION [PASTE THE ORIGINAL] Target language: [LANGUAGE — say if Roman Urdu] My audience there: [WHO] What the video is: [TOPIC] HOW TO DO THIS 1. ADAPT, do not translate. Same meaning, phrased the way someone writes in that language. 2. Keep ENGLISH TECHNICAL TERMS in English where that is how people actually say them. Translating them into formal equivalents nobody uses makes the description read as machine output. 3. Rewrite the FIRST 150 CHARACTERS specifically for that language, with the search phrasing that language actually uses. This is not a translation of the English opening; the phrase people type is different. 4. Decide the ORDER: which language goes first in the box. Usually the primary audience, with the second below a separator — and say which I should use. 5. Flag anything that does not travel: an idiom, a reference, a currency, a price. 6. Give me the LANGUAGE TAGS and any settings worth using for a bilingual video. RULES - No facts changed. - Keep loan words that people actually use. - For Roman Urdu, use the spellings people type, not an academic standard. RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE - Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown. - No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in. - Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely". - No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information. - Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune. - No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search. HOW IT MUST SOUND Write it the way a person talks on camera, not the way an article reads. - Vary sentence length hard. Follow a 20-word sentence with a three-word one. Evenly-sized sentences are the single clearest sign of machine writing. - Use contractions. Say "you'll", not "you will". - Address one person as "you". Never "viewers", never "we" when you mean them. - Cut every throat-clearing phrase. Start on the point. - Never use: delve, tapestry, testament, realm, navigate the landscape, in today's fast-paced world, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive deep, it's worth noting, furthermore, moreover, in conclusion, embark, harness, seamless, robust, leverage (as a verb), "let's explore", "buckle up". - No sentence may begin with "In this video" or "Welcome back to the channel". - Do not hedge. "This works" beats "this can potentially help". - No emoji unless I ask for them. GIVE ME THE ADAPTED DESCRIPTION — full, with the first 150 marked. ORDER — which language first, and why. DOES NOT TRAVEL — flagged. BEFORE YOU ANSWER Read your draft once and fix it: - Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it. - Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver? - Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it. - Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm. Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
