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-strategy 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 today.

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.

Strategies: Localization

Guides localization strategy for AI/SaaS products expanding into global markets. Covers i18n implementation, translation, pricing, and marketing adaptation--not just text translation.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product, target markets, and brand.

Identify:

  1. Target markets: Priority languages/regions
  2. Product type: SaaS, AI tool, content
  3. Technical stack: Next.js, React, etc.

Localization vs. Translation

Localization includes:

  • Product: Features, UI/UX, cultural adaptation
  • Pricing: True localization (adjust by market) vs. cosmetic (currency only)
  • Marketing: Channels, content, user personas
  • Compliance: GDPR, local regulations

Technical (i18n)

URL Structure

Choose one; be consistent:

Option Example Pros / Cons
Subdirectories /en/, /de/, /zh/ Recommended; maintains domain authority
Subdomains de.example.com Separate hosting; less authority transfer
ccTLD example.de Strongest geo signal; costly
  • Use subdirectories, not subdomains for i18n; subdomains transfer less authority.
  • Default locale: Root path for default (e.g. / for English); prefix for others (/zh/, /de/).
  • IETF BCP 47: Use valid codes (en, en-US, zh-CN, pt-BR). Same language, different country (e.g. de-DE vs de-AT) needs ≥20% content difference for Google to differentiate.

i18n SEO Principles

  • No hardcoded strings: All user-facing text via translation dictionary.
  • Symmetric alternates: Every locale page lists ALL other versions (including self-reference). ~75% of international sites have hreflang errors; missing reciprocal links is the most common.
  • x-default: Always include for fallback when user language/location doesn't match any version.
  • Canonical alignment: Canonical must match the same regional version hreflang refers to; misalignment causes Google to ignore hreflang.
  • Full SEO coverage: Metadata, OpenGraph, JSON-LD (inLanguage), and sitemap all locale-aware.

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.
