i18n-expert

i18n-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,232 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of localization-toolkit, MIT.

An internationalization tool for setting up and auditing translated user interfaces. Internationalization, often called i18n, means preparing software to support multiple languages, locales, date formats, and writing directions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Configuring translation support in React, Next.js, or Vue applications, auditing locale files, mapping errors to translated messages, and supporting English and Chinese locales.
Why use it?
It helps replace hard-coded interface text with translation keys and checks that supported languages contain the same messages. It also helps avoid missing translations and formatting inconsistencies.

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

i18n-expert 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/i18n_audit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

I18n Expert

Overview

Deliver a complete i18n setup + audit pass: configure the i18n framework, replace user-facing strings with keys, ensure locale parity, and validate pluralization/formatting for en-US and zh-CN.

Core Capabilities

  • Library selection and setup (React, Next.js, Vue).
  • Key architecture and locale file organization.
  • Translation generation and quality strategy (AI, professional, manual).
  • Routing and language detection/switching.
  • SEO and metadata localization (when applicable).
  • RTL support (only if RTL locales are in scope).

Scope Inputs (ask if unclear)

  • Framework and routing style.
  • Existing i18n state (none, partial, legacy).
  • Target locales (default: en-US + zh-CN).
  • Translation quality needs (AI vs professional vs manual).
  • Locale formats in use (JSON, YAML, PO, XLIFF).
  • Formality/cultural requirements (if any).

Workflow (Audit -> Fix -> Validate)

  1. Confirm scope and locale targets
  • Identify the i18n framework and locale locations.
  • Confirm locales; default to en-US + zh-CN when specified.
  1. Setup i18n baseline (if missing)
  • Choose a framework-appropriate library (e.g., React: react-i18next; Next.js: next-intl; Vue: vue-i18n).
  • Install packages and create the i18n entry/config file.
  • Wire the provider at the app root and load locale resources.
  • Add a language switcher and persistence (route/param/localStorage) as appropriate.
  • Establish locale file layout and key namespaces.
  • If routing is locale-aware, define the locale segment strategy early (subpath, subdomain, query param).
  • If metadata is user-facing, include translation for titles/descriptions.
  1. Audit key usage and locale parity
  • Run:
    python scripts/i18n_audit.py --src <src-root> --locale <path/to/en-US.json> --locale <path/to/zh-CN.json>
    
  • Treat missing keys/parity gaps as blockers.
  • Manually verify dynamic keys (t(var)).
  1. Find raw user-facing strings
  • Search:
    rg -n --glob '<src>/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}' "<[^>]+>[^<{]*[A-Za-z][^<{]*<"
    rg -n --glob '<src>/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}' "aria-label=\"[^\"]+\"|title=\"[^\"]+\"|placeholder=\"[^\"]+\""
    
  • Localize accessibility labels.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
