localization-copy

localization-copy is a skill for Claude Code from anhnguyen0905/codex-mcp. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,245 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for translating and adapting product or marketing text for different languages and regions. It covers translation, localisation, and transcreation, where wording may be rewritten to preserve its effect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing localised interface text, help content, legal copy, taglines, and advertising while preserving terminology, register, variables, plural forms, and gender rules.
Why use it?
It helps avoid literal translations that lose meaning, use the wrong tone, break placeholders, or fail because translated text takes more or less space.

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

localization-copy 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 8d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Localization Copy (translating product and marketing text safely)

Pick the right mode per string

translation   → preserve meaning, sentence by sentence      (legal, docs, UI labels)
localisation  → meaning plus locale conventions/references  (most product UI, help)
transcreation → preserve intent and effect, rewrite freely   (taglines, ads, names)

The commonest failure is applying translation where transcreation was needed: a wordplay headline rendered literally is not wrong word-by-word and still fails completely. Mark the mode on each string before it leaves, and brief transcreation with intent, audience and constraint (character limit, brand line), not with the source sentence alone.

Tone and register are part of the spec

Formality is grammatical in many languages (T–V distinction, honorific levels), so "friendly" is not portable — specify register per locale explicitly, including how the product addresses the user and whether imperatives read as rude, and hold it constant product-wide.

Glossary and do-not-translate

Keep a termbase with, per term: source term, approved target per locale, part of speech, short definition, forbidden alternatives. Keep a separate do-not-translate list: product and feature names, brands, trademarks, code identifiers, API field names, third-party UI labels seen verbatim, and units the market uses in source form. Without it, translators localise your own feature name and UI, docs and support macros diverge permanently.

Placeholder, variable and plural safety

Placeholders must reach the translator intact, reorderable and documented — state what {count}, %1$s or {name} will hold, since the target may need a different word order. Never concatenate sentence fragments in code: fragments cannot be reordered or inflected. Use ICU-style plural categories rather than if n == 1; locales use different category sets (zero, one, two, few, many, other) that a two-branch string cannot express — likewise gender and select variants. Validate mechanically: identical placeholder set source-vs-target, no renamed tokens, no dropped markup.
