CASE.02 / Content / SYNTHETIC

Turn a translated launch draft into a credible WeChat article

A synthetic global B2B launch draft is factually sound but reads like translated headquarters copy. The case rebuilds the Chinese reading path while preserving approved claims.

DATA DISCLOSURE

This article uses a fictional scenario and synthetic material to demonstrate a workflow. It does not represent a real client, company, project, or market result.

01 / DECISION BEFORE OUTPUT

Edit a 2,600-character Chinese product launch draft into a publishable WeChat Official Account article with titles, abstract, edit notes, and an approval queue.

Decision to support

Which global narrative elements still work in Chinese, what must be rebuilt for the local reader, and which claims need local approval?

02 / INPUT FILE

Put source material and constraints on the table.

Draft state

Accurate product facts but translated structure, repeated value claims, and a distant opening

Target reader

Enterprise IT and marketing operations leaders in China

Account voice

Calm, practical, and specific; no inflated efficiency claims

Required package

Body copy, three titles, abstract, edit notes, and unresolved facts

MINIMUM INPUT
  • Chinese draft and approved global source
  • China reader, account identity, and intended action
  • Approved Chinese terminology and prohibited claims
  • A product owner who can confirm local availability and proof
STARTING PROMPTUse $wechat-article-editor

Edit this WeChat launch article in structural mode. Preserve approved facts and the author voice, rebuild the reading path for Chinese enterprise buyers, and flag local availability, product naming, and performance claims that still need approval.

03 / EXECUTION TRACE

Preserve the work trace, not only the answer.

  1. 01

    Agree on an editing mode

    Because the source facts were usable, the editor chose a structural edit rather than a new article. This protected approved content while allowing the narrative to change.

  2. 02

    Separate global facts from local assumptions

    Product capabilities remained approved facts. Mainland availability, Chinese product terminology, customer proof, and performance language moved into a separate confirmation queue.

  3. 03

    Rebuild the reading path

    The new structure moved from the reader's operating problem to the broken workflow, the product mechanism, credible proof, and a bounded next step.

  4. 04

    Deliver the publication package

    The editor returned paste-ready body copy first, then titles, abstract, change notes, and a compact list of claims requiring product or legal review.

04 / OUTPUT EXCERPT

The deliverable should make judgment visible.

BEFORE

A global trend opening

The draft spent its first screen explaining a category trend before naming the reader's actual problem.

AFTER

A local operating problem

The revised opening gives a concrete role, broken workflow, and reason to continue reading.

STRUCTURE

From feature order to reader order

Problem, old workaround, product mechanism, proof boundary, and next step replace the source deck sequence.

APPROVAL

Claims stay visible

Local availability, naming, proof, and performance statements remain outside publishable copy until confirmed.

DELIVERED / COMPLETE PACKAGE
  • Publishable revised body
  • Three distinct title routes and an abstract
  • Change log by structure evidence and language
  • Local approval queue
05 / HUMAN CHECKPOINTS

These decisions do not belong to a template.

  • Confirm local availability and product naming
  • Review regulated or performance claims
  • Complete the final WeChat preview and link check
GOOD FIT
  • Translated global draft
  • Sound facts but weak Chinese reading path
  • Publication package needed
NOT FOR THIS
  • No factual source
  • Account operation or distribution request
  • A request to manufacture clickbait
FIELD NOTE / CORE TAKEAWAY

Good localization changes the reader journey before it changes individual sentences, while making every unresolved local claim easier to review.
