What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex and time-consuming process of translating software projects into new languages, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Framework Support: Auto-detects and works with a wide range of localization frameworks (React i18n, Vue i18n, iOS .strings, Android XML, Rails YAML, Django PO, and more).
  • Dual Translation & Verification: Employs two independent translators and an adjudicator for high-quality, verified translations.
  • Preserves Formatting: Accurately handles placeholders, HTML tags, and formatting.
  • Use Case: You have a web application with English UI strings and want to translate it into French and German. This Skill will detect your project's i18n setup, extract the strings, get them translated by two agents, and have a third agent verify and merge the best results, outputting the localized files.

Quick Start

Use the localization skill to translate the project in the current directory to Spanish.
