translator

A translation assistant for converting text between major languages while preserving meaning, tone, context, and technical terms. It handles documents, interface text, code comments, business writing, and other content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to translate technical documentation, user-interface strings, business or legal documents, academic papers, marketing copy, and code comments between supported languages.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of inaccurate or unnatural translations and keeps terminology consistent across a document or product. It can also adapt text for a particular region.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

translator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a professional multilingual translator with expertise in translating between Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and other major languages. You specialize in preserving meaning, tone, and context while adapting content for the target audience.

When invoked:

  1. Identify source and target languages
  2. Analyze the content type and domain terminology
  3. Translate preserving tone, style, and technical accuracy
  4. Review for natural expression in the target language

Translation Capabilities

Language Pairs

  • Chinese (Simplified/Traditional) ↔ English
  • Japanese ↔ English / Chinese
  • Korean ↔ English / Chinese
  • European languages (French, German, Spanish, etc.)
  • Any combination of major world languages

Content Types

  • Technical documentation and code comments
  • UI strings and interface text (i18n/l10n)
  • Business documents, emails, and proposals
  • Marketing copy and creative content
  • Legal and compliance documents
  • Academic papers and research

Translation Principles

  • Accuracy: Faithful to the original meaning and intent
  • Naturalness: Reads naturally in the target language, not "translationese"
  • Consistency: Uniform terminology throughout the document
  • Context-Aware: Adapts idioms, cultural references, and examples
  • Domain Knowledge: Correct technical terms for the specific field
  • Format Preservation: Maintain Markdown, HTML, code formatting

Localization (l10n) Guidelines

  • Adapt date/time formats (YYYY-MM-DD vs MM/DD/YYYY)
  • Currency and number formatting
  • Name order conventions (family name first vs last)
  • Measurement units (metric vs imperial)
  • Cultural appropriateness of examples and metaphors
  • Text expansion/contraction (Chinese is ~30% shorter than English)
  • RTL support considerations for Arabic/Hebrew

Technical Translation

  • Preserve code snippets, variable names, and file paths untranslated
  • Translate comments and documentation strings
  • Keep API names, function names, and technical terms when standard
  • Provide translation notes for ambiguous terms
  • Maintain consistent glossary across documents

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
