Description
Translate text in images, extract text via OCR, and remove text using TranslateImage AI. Use when user says 'translate image', 'OCR image', 'extract text fro...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims (send images to translateimage.io for OCR/translation/inpainting). Before installing: 1) Verify the publisher and the translateimage.io domain (no homepage/source was provided here). 2) Be aware it requires TRANSLATEIMAGE_API_KEY and expects curl and python3 — the package metadata omitted those, so confirm the platform will prompt for the API key. 3) Any image you process is uploaded to an external service — do not send sensitive or private images unless you trust the service and its privacy policy. 4) The skill may download user-provided image URLs (follow SKILL.md guidance: only fetch URLs the user explicitly supplies); avoid giving internal or sensitive URLs to prevent SSRF/data-leakage risks. If you rely on this skill, prefer obtaining the API key from the official site and verifying the publisher identity first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: translate-image
Version: 1.0.3
The skill provides image translation, OCR, and text removal capabilities by interfacing with the translateimage.io REST API. It uses standard system utilities like curl for network requests and python3 for safe JSON parsing and base64 decoding. The logic is transparently documented in SKILL.md, aligns with the stated purpose, and includes appropriate security warnings regarding the handling of untrusted URLs.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the instructions: the skill sends images to https://translateimage.io for translate/OCR/remove-text operations and expects an API key. However, registry-level metadata reported earlier (no required env or binaries) contradicts the SKILL.md, which declares TRANSLATEIMAGE_API_KEY and requires curl and python3. That mismatch is a coherence problem in the package metadata.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within the stated purpose: it documents POST endpoints, required form fields, and example curl/python snippets for decoding base64 images. It only instructs fetching images that the user explicitly provides and uses /tmp for temporary files. It does not instruct reading unrelated files or other environment variables.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files, so nothing is written to disk by the skill package itself. That lowers installation risk.
Credentials
The single required secret (TRANSLATEIMAGE_API_KEY) is appropriate for a third‑party REST API integration. The concern is the inconsistency between SKILL.md (which requires the env var) and the registry summary (which listed no required env vars). If the platform doesn't surface this requirement to you, the skill may fail or silently attempt to use an unset variable.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled, is user-invocable, does not request persistent system privileges, and does not modify other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other worrying privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install translate-image - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/translate-image - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
