The problem it solves

You found a useful article in another language and want to share it, but machine translation reads stiffly and gets the terms wrong.

For General readersWriters and translatorsBusiness professionals

Before
You paste paragraphs into a translation site, then fix awkward sentences and terms by hand.
After
You get a translation.md that keeps your formatting and uses consistent terms, polished in refined mode after a critique and a revision.

Overview

Give it a file, a web address or pasted text and it translates the content into the language you choose, Chinese by default. Quick mode translates directly, normal mode first studies the topic and terms, and refined mode adds a critique, a revision and a final polish. It keeps the Markdown formatting, applies glossaries for consistent terms and splits long articles into parts. It suits readers and writers who want a translation that reads as if it was written in that language.

Refined mode saves every stage, from analysis to critique to final text, so you can see how and why the translation changed.

Good to know

Translate an article or a web page for readers in another language. Choose quick, normal or refined mode; the skill writes the result to translation.md and keeps the original formatting.

Limits

  • The first run asks setup questions (target language, mode, audience, style) and saves them to a settings file before it translates anything.
  • Text inside images is not translated. After translating, the skill lists images that may still contain the original language.
