Translate your lesson to French and Kreyòl

10 min read · Beginner · Guide 4 of 9

You have a lesson script in English. In this guide you make the French and Kreyòl versions with Claude or ChatGPT, then a fluent speaker checks them. Plan about 30 minutes per lesson.

1. Give the AI your script and your audience

Open a new chat and paste the prompt below. Put your script where it says [paste your script]. Run it once for French, then once more for Kreyòl.

You are translating a short lesson for adults in Haiti
who will read and hear it on a phone.

Translate the script below into [Haitian Creole].
Use everyday words and short sentences.
Use the official Kreyòl spelling.
Keep names, numbers and links as they are.
Mark every line you are not sure about with [CHECK].

Script:
[paste your script]

The [CHECK] marks matter. They show the speaker where to look first.

2. Have a fluent speaker check every line

Send the Kreyòl version and the English script side by side. Ask the speaker to fix the meaning first, then the spelling. Lines marked [CHECK] come first.

3. Read it aloud before you record

If a line is hard to say, it is hard to hear. Shorten long sentences now, before ElevenLabs makes the voice in the next guide.
