What problem does it solve?
This Skill standardizes French translation and localization for KoboToolbox content from English, enabling consistent terminology, tone, and brand usage across academy courses, user interface text, documentation, support articles, marketing materials, and XLSForm terminology.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Brand-term compliance: Ensures all KoboToolbox brand terms follow the official glossaries (brand-terminology.md, ui-terminology.md, data-collection-terms.md, course-terminology.md) with correct capitalization and article usage.
- First-reference rule for Formbuilder: Enforces English-on-first-reference in parentheses for Formbuilder terms (e.g., "Formbuilder" translated as "interface de création de formulaires KoboToolbox (KoboToolbox Formbuilder)"), across French content.
- Gender-inclusive language: Applies inclusive forms (utilisatrices et utilisateurs, débutant(e)s) and proper pronoun placement in French.
- Scope of content: Applies to academy courses, user interface text, guides and documentation, support articles, and SRT subtitles where relevant.
- Structure and cross-language integrity: Preserves HTML/Markdown structure, internal links, and cross-language references according to the project guidelines.
Quick Start
- Before translating, consult brand and UI terminology references and the course-terminology and data-collection terms guidelines.
- Translate from English to French for new content with consistent terminology; for updates, follow diff-based translation guidelines and keep English terms in parentheses on first reference where required.
