/install translate
Description
Translates and localizes text, software strings, documents, subtitles, and marketing copy between any language pair. Use when translating anything, when fixing a translation that reads machine-made, or when localizing a product: ICU plurals and gender, placeholders that must survive, string catalogs (JSON, XLIFF, .po, .strings, .xcstrings, ARB, RESX, YAML), locale codes and fallback chains, RTL and bidi breakage, CJK typography, mojibake, text expansion that overflows the UI, subtitle timing and reading speed, hreflang and multilingual SEO, glossaries, translation memory and fuzzy matches, and post-editing machine output. Use when choosing register (tu/vous, tú/usted, du/Sie, keigo), between es-ES and es-419 or zh-Hans and zh-Hant, or when a certified, legal, or medical translation carries liability. Not for writing original copy natively in one language (spanish, french, german, japanese, chinese) or generating captions from audio (video-captions).
Usage Guidance
Install only if you want this skill to maintain local translation memory under ~/Clawic/data and related shared contacts, projects, and finance notes. For confidential, personal, legal, or medical text, use its non-hosted workflow guidance and do not approve hosted MT unless the provider terms are acceptable.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
The requested local storage is broader than a one-off translation helper, but it is proportionate for an ongoing localization workflow with glossaries, vendors, projects, and tool costs.
Install Mechanism
The package is markdown and metadata only; I found no executable scripts, install hooks, background workers, or dependency-install commands.
Instruction Scope
It directs agents to read and update local Clawic memory files and shared contact/project/finance boxes, but those paths and purposes are disclosed and scoped to translation workflow state.
Persistence & Privilege
Persistent writes are automatic for durable translation decisions and job records; the artifact says writes are announced, scoped to declared paths, avoid secrets, and avoid full source documents unless requested.
Purpose & Capability
The skill's capabilities match translation and localization work, including glossaries, style guides, translation memory, MT policy, regulated-text cautions, and job tracking.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install translate
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /translate
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
