SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Translate Tale's UI, marketing copy, and docs across locales while preserving a native voice per language. This cross-locale contract ensures that per-locale voice doctrine lives in locales/<locale>/AGENTS.md; the loanword buckets in BUCKETS.md, the conventions in CONVENTIONS.md, and the glossary workflow in GLOSSARY_GUIDE.md guide translation quality and governance. The frontmatter binding in SKILL.md defines the contractual expectations for contributors editing non-English content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a unified narrative across locales so readers experience consistent tone and terminology.
  • References locale-specific drift patterns, glossary rules, and stylistic conventions to guide edits in services/*/messages/, packages/ui/src/i18n/messages/, and docs/<locale>/.
  • Supports governance for translations by aligning with per-locale AGENTS.md and companion docs to reduce drift and improve localization quality.

Quick Start

Open locales/<locale>/AGENTS.md and read BUCKETS.md, CONVENTIONS.md, and GLOSSARY_GUIDE.md before editing any non-English files under services/*/messages/, packages/ui/src/i18n/messages/, or docs/<locale>/.

Frequently Asked Questions about translation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain consistent voice across multiple locales during translation?▼

Maintaining consistent voice across locales requires per-locale AGENTS.md files and companion docs like CONVENTIONS.md to govern tone and stylistic rules. This translation approach applies these references across UI messages and docs to enforce a unified narrative and reduce drift.

How do I prevent terminology drift in i18n message files when editing translations?▼

Preventing terminology drift in i18n message files involves referencing locale-specific BUCKETS.md for loanword rules and GLOSSARY_GUIDE.md for term governance. These files constrain edits in services/*/messages/ and packages/ui/src/i18n/messages/ to maintain translation consistency.

What is locale-specific voice doctrine and how does it guide multilingual copy translation?▼

Locale-specific voice doctrine is a set of per-locale rules defined in AGENTS.md, CONVENTIONS.md, and glossary guides. It governs how translations preserve a native voice per language, ensuring that UI, marketing copy, and docs experience consistent tone across target locales.

How do I start translating UI messages and docs while following locale conventions?▼

To start translating UI messages and docs, first read the locale-specific AGENTS.md, BUCKETS.md, CONVENTIONS.md, and GLOSSARY_GUIDE.md files. These governance references guide edits across services/*/messages/, packages/ui/src/i18n/messages/, and docs/<locale>/ directories.

Can I use glossary workflows to enforce translation quality in non-English docs?▼

Yes, glossary workflows defined in GLOSSARY_GUIDE.md enforce translation quality in non-English docs by providing term governance. Combined with the SKILL.md frontmatter contract and locale-specific tests, these workflows guide contributors in maintaining voice integrity.

Why does my localized UI copy lose its native tone across different locales?▼

Localized UI copy loses its native tone when translations drift from established voice doctrine. Applying per-locale AGENTS.md, loanword buckets, and stylistic conventions ensures that translation edits in i18n message files preserve a consistent, native voice.
