+__**EMOJIS**__: copy emojis directly from source into the target. Do not change them, even if they
+are incomplete (like :-‘). If the source sentence uses an emoji to replace a word that is
+essential to the sentence meaning, then translate with the inferred word (without omitting the
+emoji). Example: “The is red” should be translated like if it were “The apple is red”. \\
+__**BUSINESS AND PRODUCT NAMES**__: keep business names and product names as-is
+with proper capitalization. Examples: Facebook → Facebook, ebay → eBay. Exception: if a
+company/product has been officially marketed in another country under a different name,
+you should use the official name for the target country. Examples: “Diet Coke” would be
+“Coca-Cola Light” in Italian; “Algida” would be “Frigo”, “Miko”, or “Eskimo” depending on the
+target country.  \\
+__**PROPER NAMES**__: proper names of people should NOT be changed unless they are
+historical names widely recognized in each language. Example: Columbus > Colón.
+Transliteration can be used as long as the names are the same as in source. Example for
+Serbian: "Shakespeare" > "Šekspir". Other names (e.g. names of places and languages)
+should be translated when the name is rendered differently in the source and target
+languages. For example, Warsaw in Polish should be Warszawa, Cologne in German should
+be Köln and Spain in Spanish should be España. \\
+__**APP NAMES**__: keep well known app names as in source if there is no official translation.
+Example: Skype → Skype \\
+__**NAMES OF LAWS, ACTS, ORGANIZATIONS**__: keep as in source the names of laws,
+acts, organizations, etc. that belong to a specific country. Example:  'Defense of Marriage
+Act'. For international organizations or international documents, i.e., 'Universal Declaration of
+Human Rights', please use the standard and approved translations for the target. \\
+__**MOVIE/BOOK/SONG/SHOW TITLES**__: if there is no official/culturally relevant translation
+for the title, keep the one in the source. If there is an official translation or adaptation that is
+more familiar to the target locale, please use that one. Example: “Harry Potter and the
+Philosopher’s Stone” should be translated into French as “Harry Potter à l'école des
+sorciers” because that was the title of the French version of the same book. “Twinkle,
+twinkle, little star” might be translated into Korean using the corresponding Korean-language
+song “반짝 반짝 작은 별”. \\
+__**QUERIES**__: If you have linguistic queries or doubts about the instructions, raise a ticket to
+our Query Management System Global Query (C837-Isaac projects) by selecting “HT” under
+the Isaac scope field. Do not raise tickets in Global Query for non-linguistic topics. If you
+have queries about workflow, rates, payments, or want to report a technical bug (not related
+to linguistic issues), reach out by email to the PMs. If you do not have an account or you
+cannot remember your username, reach out to the PMs by email. If you don’t remember the
+password, you can reset it from the login page. All answers provided outside this tool and by
+third parties/companies are neither official nor reliable for this project. \\
