Essential Tips: A Complete Guide for Using Claude in Chinese!
Today, I want to share some tips on using Claude in Chinese, turning your AI assistant into a Chinese interaction expert.
To help Claude perform better in Chinese, I’ve summarized a 3+2 model, which consists of 3 core techniques and 2 advanced methods.
This model was developed through iterative validation after guiding over 200 AI learners in optimizing Claude’s Chinese capabilities.
When sharing this with friends, use this 3+2 model; it’s practical and easy to remember.
Speaking of this, I can’t help but recall an experience from a student last week.
He complained that Claude always produced awkward Chinese, reading like machine translation.
But after mastering these techniques, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Claude’s Chinese expression became exceptionally fluent, even able to write gentle copy with a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent.
What are the three core techniques?
First: Set a clear Chinese context and identity.
Second: Use precise Chinese prompts to guide.
Third: Continuously optimize output quality through multi-turn dialogue.
Why is it important to set a clear Chinese context and identity?
Many people directly ask for answers in Chinese, which is too vague.
Setting a specific context allows Claude to better grasp the language style and expression.
For example, you could say, please explain this concept in a tone like a Chinese language teacher with 20 years of experience, using simple and understandable Chinese.
This reminds me of a blogger who focuses on maternal and child media who approached me a couple of days ago.
She previously asked Claude to write parenting articles, but the outputs were stiff and lacked warmth.
After I guided her to set a warm, trendy mother persona, Claude’s articles immediately became endearing and touching, and the interaction rate in the comments section tripled.
Regarding Chinese prompts, I developed a four-step guiding method: Step 1: Clearly express the request, such as using friendly and natural Chinese.
Step 2: Provide tone examples, like chatting with a close friend.
Step 3: Specify the expression style, such as using vivid metaphors.
Step 4: Set a feedback mechanism, like asking Claude to inform me if the expression is not authentic enough.
For this, I specially prepared a Claude Chinese prompt treasure book for core members, including over 100 high-quality Chinese prompt templates verified in practice, covering writing, marketing, education, and more, which can be used directly.
Next, let’s discuss the importance of multi-turn dialogue optimization.
Many people think they are done after receiving Claude’s first Chinese answer, which is a pity.
In fact, through continuous dialogue feedback, the output quality can keep improving.
I’ll share a practical three-round optimization method: Round 1: Basic output to obtain the main content.
Round 2: Style optimization to adjust language expression.
Round 3: Detail refinement to perfect professional terminology.
Recently, I guided a doctor to use Claude to write a patient guide.
The first round output was indeed standard Chinese but slightly stiff.
In the second round, we added more life-like metaphors, and in the third round, we supplemented some simple medical term explanations.
The final article was both professional and relatable, receiving high praise from patients.
After discussing the three core techniques, let’s look at the two advanced methods: First: Chinese-English mixed prompt method.
Sometimes, using purely Chinese prompts may not yield ideal results, so you can cleverly use mixed Chinese and English prompts.
For example, using “Please use natural Chinese expression, like chatting with a friend” often yields unexpected results.
Second: Situational Interaction Training Method.
Don’t treat Claude as a simple translation tool; instead, view it as a partner that needs continuous learning.
By setting various real Chinese communication scenarios, you can help it improve its expression ability in practice.
At this point, I recall an interesting case.
A short video creator wanted Claude to help write interactive replies in the comments section.
Initially, Claude’s replies were always very formal, but later I taught him to use the situational interaction training method, allowing Claude to observe and mimic the response style of popular creators.
Now, Claude’s replies are both witty and warm, with a 50% increase in fan interaction rate.
Recently, I found that many Claude users face similar challenges in using Chinese.
To address this, I created a Claude Chinese optimization boot camp, detailing how to make Claude’s Chinese expression more relatable, how to write emotionally resonant copy, and how to help it accurately understand the subtleties of the Chinese context.
These are exclusive contents for core members.
Two important points to focus on: First: Avoid rigidly applying rules.
Chinese expression emphasizes flexibility; do not let Claude output in a rigid, fixed pattern.
Just like in daily conversations, we don’t always use the same sentence structure.
Second: Continuously update the prompt library.
Language is constantly evolving, especially internet slang that changes rapidly.
Keep your Chinese prompt library updated to ensure Claude’s expression stays in tune with the times.
Artificial intelligence is a rapidly developing field, and Claude’s capabilities in Chinese are also improving day by day.
Recently, the release of Claude 3.5 Sonnet has brought a qualitative leap in Chinese understanding and generation.
It can better understand the subtle differences in the Chinese context and generate content that aligns more closely with native speakers’ expression habits.
I recommend everyone update to the latest version in a timely manner to experience more.
