Prompt Library
Supervertaler includes a Prompt Manager so you can create, organise, and reuse prompts across projects. It lives in the AI tab → Prompt Manager sub-tab.
Common uses
- Maintain different prompts per client
- Maintain different prompts per domain
- Switch between “draft” and “final” translation styles
Prompt Library toolbar
Above the Prompt Library tree you’ll find these actions:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| + New | Create a new empty prompt at the current folder. |
| 📁 New Folder | Create a new folder for organising prompts. |
| ✨ AutoPrompt | Analyse the current document (domain, tone, terminology) and auto-generate a tailored translation prompt. The new prompt appears in the library and is loaded into the Prompt Editor automatically; if it was created with the activate flag, it also becomes the Custom Prompt ⭐ for the project. |
| ⚙️ System Prompts | Open Settings → System Prompts to configure mode-specific system prompts. |
| 🔄 Refresh | Reload the library from disk. |
| ▸ Collapse all / ▾ Expand all | Fold or unfold every folder in the tree. |
Custom Prompt
The panel above the toolbar shows the Custom Prompt ⭐ – the prompt that’s currently active for AI translation in this project. Right-click any prompt in the library and choose ⭐ Set as Custom Prompt to make it the active one. AutoPrompt sets the new prompt as Custom Prompt automatically.
Tips
- Start simple and evolve prompts as you learn what works for your language pair.
- AutoPrompt is a good starting point for new projects, especially in unfamiliar domains – use the auto-generated prompt as a draft and edit it from there.
External prompts
If you load a prompt from an external file (outside the built-in library), Supervertaler can show it in the editor and save changes back to the same file.
