Translate Book

Translate books (PDF/DOCX/EPUB) into any language using parallel sub-agents. Converts input -> Markdown chunks -> translated chunks -> HTML/DOCX/EPUB/PDF.

This skill appears coherent for translating ebooks, but consider these practical cautions before installing/using it: 1) Dependencies: install Calibre (ebook-convert), Pandoc, and Python3 (plus pypandoc) locally — the scripts call them via subprocess. 2) Data exposure: translation works by sending chunk text to sub-agents/LLM; do not use it on copyrighted, confidential, or sensitive documents you cannot send to an LLM. 3) Filesystem effects: the pipeline writes a {book_name}_temp/ directory in your current working directory and may create many output files—run it in a dedicated workspace and back up important data. 4) Review code if you require higher assurance: the included scripts are plain Python and call local binaries; if you need to confirm no unexpected network/IO behavior, inspect the scripts (convert.py, glossary.py, merge_and_build.py, calibre_html_publish.py) before running. 5) Minor metadata note: the manifest redundantly lists ebook-convert in both bins/anyBins, which is harmless but worth noting. If you are comfortable with these points, the skill is internally consistent with its stated purpose.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: translate-book Version: 1.0.0 The translate-book skill is a legitimate and well-structured tool for translating books (PDF/DOCX/EPUB) using a multi-step pipeline and parallel sub-agents. The orchestration logic in SKILL.md and the supporting Python scripts (such as convert.py, merge_meta.py, and merge_and_build.py) are entirely focused on the stated purpose: converting documents, managing a terminology glossary, and ensuring translation consistency. The skill uses standard tools like Pandoc and Calibre, and its use of subprocess execution follows security best practices (list-based arguments) to prevent shell injection. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection was found.
