SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Machine and literal translations between Indonesian and English often produce grammatically correct but unnatural text that reads as obviously translated, eroding reader trust. This Skill rewrites meaning rather than mapping words, producing output that sounds natively written in the target language. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bidirectional ID-EN Translation: Handles both Indonesian-to-English and English-to-Indonesian with direction-specific anti-slop rules for idioms, register, passive voice, and conjunctions. - Anti-Slop Quality Gates: Applies four mandatory checks (read-aloud test, back-meaning test, rhythm test, register test) plus a banned-phrase list to eliminate robotic or AI-sounding output. - Syntax Preservation: Keeps code, Markdown, Nuxt Content MDC components, YAML frontmatter keys, URLs, and placeholders intact while translating only the prose values. - Use Case: A bilingual personal website needs an English version of an Indonesian blog article. The Skill rewrites the article so both versions carry equal weight, with neither reading like a second-class translation. ## Quick Start Translate this Indonesian paragraph into natural English and fix any phrasing that sounds stiff or machine-translated.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate Indonesian to English without it sounding like Google Translate?▼

Translate the meaning rather than the word order: read the full source for intent and tone, then rewrite it the way a native speaker would express it. Break long Indonesian compound sentences into shorter English ones and replace literal idioms with idiomatic equivalents.

How to fix English text that sounds stiff or machine-translated?▼

Run four checks: read it aloud for naturalness, mentally back-translate to verify meaning, vary sentence lengths for rhythm, and confirm the formality register fits the context. Remove stacked formal connectors like furthermore and moreover.

Should technical terms like database or framework be translated into Indonesian?▼

Keep domain-specific terms in English when the target community commonly uses them, such as developer or digital product audiences. Translate general terms that have widely used Indonesian equivalents, and avoid code-mixing done only to sound impressive.

Can I translate Markdown or Nuxt Content files without breaking components?▼

Yes. Translate only the prose content and frontmatter values while leaving component names, attributes, tags, file paths, URLs, variable names, and frontmatter keys untouched. Placeholders and interpolation syntax must also remain intact.

What phrases signal AI-generated or robotic translation tone?▼

Common markers include openers like "In today's fast-paced world", meta filler like "It is important to note that", empty hyperbole like "game-changer" or "seamless", repeated transitions like "Furthermore", and closers like "In conclusion". Re-express these with plainer, more direct wording.
