ainiee-translate

What problem does it solve?

Traditional novel translation tools like AiNiee require a separate desktop application with GUI/HTTP/MCP interfaces, forcing users to switch contexts and manage standalone software. This Skill eliminates that overhead by running the entire translation pipeline directly within your coding agent (Claude Code / OpenAI Codex), using the agent itself as the translation engine with no external app dependencies or per-token API fees.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-End Translation Pipeline: Automatically parses input files (epub, txt, docx, srt, etc.), builds a locked glossary for consistent terminology and character name rendering, translates chapter by chapter following custom rules, writes progress to a resumable cache, and exports finished translated files.
• No External App Required: Runs directly on your coding agent's subscription quota, no need to install or run the AiNiee desktop app, no per-token API costs for translation.
• Flexible Workflow Control: Supports three intervention modes (sampling auto-translation, per-chapter review, full auto mode), plus import of existing AiNiee project caches to continue unfinished translation, polishing, or verification work.
• Use Case Example: Translate a full English fantasy novel to Chinese with consistent character name preservation, custom style rules for dialogue and honorifics, and resumable progress if the translation is interrupted mid-way.

Quick Start

Use the ainiee-translate skill to translate the attached novel file 'my_fantasy_book.epub' to Chinese, applying the default translation rules and preserving character names per the locked glossary.
