Simplified Technical Russian according to GOST R 58049-2017

To simplify technical documentation in Russia, the UTR standard — Simplified Technical Russian — is applied. It is enshrined in GOST R 58049-2017 and serves as an analogue of English Simplified Technical English.

The main goal of the standard is to make the text unambiguous, easy to understand, and convenient for translation into foreign languages.

Key rules of Simplified Technical Russian

• Simple and unambiguous text with direct word order
• Predominant use of active voice
• Imperative mood in instructions (e.g., "Install the cover") instead of passive constructions
• Terminology uniformity: one term corresponds to one concept
• Prohibition of metaphors, slang, and figurative comparisons
• Preference for short and simple terms
• Avoidance of three or more consecutive nouns
• Formatting complex lists as vertical bullet points

To adapt texts to meet the standard's requirements, specialized prompts for neural networks can be used. They ensure compliance with direct word order rules, short sentences, and consistent terminology.

An effective prompt should require the use of active voice, prohibit bureaucratic jargon and metaphors, while maintaining technical accuracy without excessive simplification of meaning.
