Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

roo-translate 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Perform translation and localization tasks for the Roo Code extension. This command activates the translation workflow with comprehensive i18n guidelines.

Quick Start

  1. Identify the translation scope:

    • If a specific language code is provided (e.g., de, zh-CN), focus on that language
    • If all is specified, translate to all supported languages
    • If a string key is provided, locate and translate that specific string
    • If a file path is provided, work with that translation file

  2. Supported languages: ca, de, en, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, ko, nl, pl, pt-BR, ru, tr, vi, zh-CN, zh-TW

  3. Translation locations:

    • Core Extension: src/i18n/locales/
    • WebView UI: webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/

Workflow

  1. If adding new strings:

    • Add the English string first
    • Ask for confirmation before translating to other languages
    • Use apply_diff for efficient file updates

  2. If updating existing strings:

    • Identify all affected language files
    • Update English first, then propagate changes

  3. Validate your changes:

    node scripts/find-missing-translations.js

Key Guidelines

  • Use informal speech (e.g., "du" not "Sie" in German)
  • Keep technical terms like "token", "Prompt" in English
  • Preserve all {{variable}} placeholders exactly
  • Use apply_diff instead of write_to_file for existing files

Examples

  • /roo-translate de - Focus on German translations
  • /roo-translate all welcome.title - Translate a specific key to all languages
  • /roo-translate zh-CN src/i18n/locales/zh-CN/core.json - Work on specific file

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.
