``` 2. **Identify What Needs Translation vs. What Stays Unchanged:** - **HTML tags:** `

`, `

`, `

`, `

`, `

`, `

` - MUST stay exactly as-is. - **City/Airport names & codes:** "Dallas", "DFW International Airport", "I-35E", "Terminal A", "Terminal B" - Keep unchanged per instructions. - **Phone numbers/URLs:** None present in the text, so nothing to worry about there. - **All other text:** Needs to be translated into natural, native Simplified Chinese for travelers. 3. **Strategy for Translation:** - Translate the content strings, but keep the HTML structure intact. - Since HTML tags must remain exactly as-is, I need to be very careful not to alter them, even if they contain text inside them. Wait, the instruction says "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is." This typically means the tag syntax itself (like `

`, `

`, etc.), but the text *within* the tags can be translated. However, to be safe, I should keep the tags literally as they appear in the source, and only translate the visible text content. But the tags themselves might contain the text I need to translate. Actually, re-reading: "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is." This means the `

`, `

`, `

` tags and their structure must remain unchanged. The text inside them can be translated, but I need to output the full HTML with tags unchanged in syntax, but the inner text translated. Wait, if I change the text inside `

`, the tag `

` remains, but the content changes. The instruction likely means don't modify the HTML tag structure (like adding attributes, changing case, etc.), but translating the text content is expected. I'll treat it as: keep the tags literally as `

`, `

`, etc., and translate everything else between them. - Actually, to be strictly compliant: "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is." I will output the tags exactly as they appear in the source, but replace the inner text with Chinese translations. I need to make sure I don't accidentally change tag names or attributes. - Let me parse the text and identify segments: - `

`, but the text inside should be translated. However, "Graduate by Hilton Dallas to DFW International Airport Shuttle" contains city/airport names and codes that must remain unchanged. The instruction says: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." So "Graduate by Hilton Dallas", "DFW International Airport", "Shuttle" might be considered names/codes. Let's re-read carefully: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." This likely means the actual names/codes like DFW, Dallas, Terminal A/B, I-35E, etc. But "Graduate by Hilton Dallas" is a hotel name. "DFW International Airport Airport" is an airport name. I should keep those exact as-is, but translate everything else. Actually, the safest approach: keep all proper nouns that are city/airport codes/names exactly as in source. But the prompt says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." It doesn't say keep all proper names unchanged, just those. I'll translate the descriptive text, but keep "Dallas", "DFW International Airport", "I-35E", "Terminal A", "Terminal B", "Uptown", "Oak Lawn" unchanged as they are city/area names/codes. Wait, "Uptown" and "Oak Lawn" are neighborhoods in Dallas. The instruction says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. I'll keep them as-is to be safe, since they are location names. - Let's list all elements that must stay unchanged per instruction: - HTML tags: `

`, `

`, `

`, `

`, `

`, `

` - City/airport names and codes: "Dallas", "DFW International Airport", "I-35E", "Terminal A", "Terminal B", "Uptown", "Oak Lawn" - Phone numbers/URLs: none - Everything else gets translated to natural Simplified Chinese for travelers. - Let's go segment by segment, keeping unchanged items as-is, translating the rest. Source breakdown: 1. `

` and `

` stay. - Inside: "Graduate by Hilton Dallas to DFW International Airport Shuttle" - This is a service title. "Graduate by Hilton Dallas" is a hotel name. "DFW International Airport" is airport code/name. "Shuttle" is descriptive. Per instruction: keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. So "DFW International Airport" stays. "Dallas" stays. "Graduate by Hilton" might be a proper brand name, but the instruction specifically says "city/airport names and codes". I think it's safer to keep the entire phrase as-is, or at least the airport/hotel names. Actually, the prompt says: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." It doesn't explicitly say keep all brand names unchanged, but typically in such translations, you keep proper nouns. I'll keep "Graduate by Hilton Dallas to DFW International Airport Shuttle" exactly as-is, because translating "Graduate by Hilton" would violate keeping names unchanged, and "Shuttle" is fine but I'll keep the whole thing as source if unsure. Wait, re-reading: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." This is a constraint. It doesn't say "keep all proper names", but I should respect it. I'll keep "Dallas", "DFW International Airport", "I-35E", "Terminal A", "Terminal B", "Uptown", "Oak Lawn" unchanged. For "Graduate by Hilton Dallas", "Dallas" is a city name, so keep unchanged. "Graduate by Hilton" is a hotel brand, I'll keep it as-is or translate descriptively? To be safe and compliant, I'll keep all recognizable proper nouns/exactly as they are in the source, except the translatable descriptive text. Actually, the prompt says: "Translate this airport-shuttle landing-page HTML from English to NATURAL, native Simplified Chinese (Mandarin) for travelers. Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." This implies that the only things I MUST keep unchanged are: HTML tags, city/airport names/codes, phone numbers/URLs. Everything else should be translated. So I should translate everything except those categories. But "Graduate by Hilton Dallas" contains "Dallas" which is a city name, so keep "Dallas" unchanged, but could I translate "Graduate by Hilton"? It's a proper brand name. The constraint doesn't explicitly forbid translating brand names Here's a thinking process: 1. **Analyze User Request:** - **Input:** HTML snippet about an airport shuttle landing page - **Task:** Translate from English to Simplified Chinese (Mandarin) - **Constraints:** - Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is - Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged - Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged - Return ONLY the translated HTML - **Input Text:** `

` → Keep exactly as-is - City/airport names: "DFW International Airport" → Keep unchanged (user explicitly said keep city/airport names and codes unchanged) - Phone number: "(817) 403-6196" → Keep unchanged - URLs: None explicitly, but "our website" might be a URL placeholder, keep as-is - Promo code: "ONLINE" → Keep unchanged (user said keep URLs unchanged, promo code might be considered part of that, but I'll keep it as-is per instruction) - All actual content text needs translation to natural, native Simplified Chinese for travelers. 3. **Translate Content to Simplified Chinese (Mandarin):** - *Original:* "We provide pickup directly from your hotel's lobby or porte-cochère upon request." - *Translation:* 我们提供从酒店大堂或 Porte-cochère(车棚)的接送服务,请求时请说明。或更自然:我们应要求提供从酒店大堂或门厅的接送服务。"Porte-cochère" is a French term, often left as-is or translated as "车棚" or "门厅". Since user said keep names unchanged, but "porte-cochère" is in the source text. User said "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." This isn't a city/airport name/code, it's a architectural term. I'll translate the meaning but keep the term or use a common Chinese equivalent. Actually, better to translate naturally: "我们提供应要求的从酒店大堂或门厅的接送服务。" I'll omit or replace "porte-cochère" with "门厅" or keep it if needed. Let's see: "hotel's lobby or porte-cochère" -> "酒店大堂或门厅". I'll use "门厅" which is the Chinese term for porte-cochère/lobby drop-off area. - *Original:* "Simply call us or book online, and we'll be there to greet you promptly." - *Translation:* 只需致电我们或在线预订,我们会准时迎接您。 - *Original:* "For drop-offs, we can take you back to your hotel after your flight lands." - *Translation:* 下飞机后,我们可以送您返回酒店。 - *Original:* "What about my luggage?" - *Translation:* 我的行李怎么办? - *Original:* "No need to worry about carrying your bags.

Draft translation checks: - "porte-cochère" -> I'll translate as "门厅" or keep "Porte-cochère"? User said keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. This isn't either. I'll use "门厅" as it's the standard Chinese term for the covered entrance area. Or I could keep it as "Porte-cochère" but that might not be "natural, native Simplified Chinese". I'll use "门厅". - "DFW International Airport" -> Keep exactly as "DFW International Airport" per instruction. - "(817) 403-6196" -> Keep exactly as-is. - "ONLINE" -> Keep as-is. - "10%" -> Keep as-is. - URLs: "our website" -> Keep as "我们的网站" or keep "our website"? User said keep URLs unchanged. "our website" is text, not a URL. I'll translate it naturally to "我们的网站", but if it's meant to be a placeholder, maybe keep "our website". I think translating to "我们的网站" is fine, but to be safe, I could keep "our website" as-is since user didn't specify translating generic English phrases, but said "natural, native Simplified Chinese for travelers". I'll translate it to "我们的网站". Actually, looking at the constraint: "Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." "our website" isn't a URL, it's text. I'll translate it naturally. - Let me re-read carefully: "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It doesn't say keep all proper nouns unchanged, only city/airport names and codes, and phone numbers and URLs. So I should translate everything else.
