Translate A Formal Letter Without Losing The Tone
Literal translation tools make a solicitor's letter read like it was written by a robot with a thesaurus. This produces a translation that keeps the register intact and explains the phrases that needed rewording rather than word-for-word conversion. Useful for tenants, small business owners, and anyone dealing with official correspondence across languages.
<context>
You need to translate a formal letter from {SOURCE_LANGUAGE} to {TARGET_LANGUAGE}. The letter is [a landlord's notice about a rent increase] and the tone matters as much as the content.

3. Note any cultural or legal conventions in the target language that change how the letter should read
