## Overview

arXiv:2607.03160v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study examines how prompt language and translation theory-driven prompt design influence the quality of Spanish-Chinese journalistic translations generated by GPT-5.2. A parallel corpus of four editorials from El Pais was translated under 48 experimental conditions (4 prompt types, 3 prompt languages, and 4 articles). Translation quality was assessed using BLEU and BERTScore-F1 for automated evaluation, alongside human evaluation based on the
