Prompt engineering is an essential skill to master in a world increasingly influenced by ChatGPT and large language models. Custom.MT is hosting a workshop and a localization industry-first hackathon on prompt engineering to help professionals enhance their skillset.
Date: April 27-28th, 15.00 – 18.30 CET
This event is tailored for hands-on localization program managers, localization engineers, and linguists. Participants will collaborate in teams to tackle language-related challenges faced by global organizations, such as inclusive language, translation adhering to style guides, tag placement, and multilingual text generation for marketing and e-commerce. Attendees will gain valuable prompt engineering experience and become better equipped to work with large language models.
No technical expertise is needed to join; a prompting platform, model access, and task materials will be provided by the organizer. The workshop and hackathon are part of a two-day online event, with Day 1 featuring presentations and panel discussions, and Day 2 focusing on hands-on tasks and skill development.
Speakers include Michael Levot, Localization Program Lead at Canva and Slator Managing Director Florian Faes.

What is Prompt Engineering
ChatGPT and other language models generate more accurate output when given precise instructions.
For example:
Before:
Translate the following into French <text>
After:
Act as a translator to French, considering style guide <style guide> and terminology <term base>. Provide only the translation without notes or explanations. Use an informal tone, first-person singular, and limit the page translation to 40 characters per line.
The latter prompt produces a tailored translation that aligns more closely with business requirements and company voice. A fully engineered prompt may be up to 800 words long.
