translator

A translation tool that detects the source language and translates text between more than 100 languages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Translating phrases, sentences, and other text, or detecting what language text is written in.
Why use it?
It removes the need to identify the source language or manually choose a separate translation workflow for each language pair.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (translate.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.

What it actually says

Translator

When to Use

  • Translate text to or from any supported language
  • Detect the source language of text
  • Work with multilingual content (e.g., "how do you say X in Y?")
  • Translate phrases, sentences, or paragraphs

When NOT to Use

  • Bulk translation of code or large docs — consider dedicated tools
  • Summarization or paraphrasing
  • Rewriting text in the same language
  • When the user explicitly wants a different translation service

Setup

Install dependency: pip install deep-translator

Usage/Commands

python {skill_path}/translate.py "text to translate" --to TARGET_LANG [options]
Option Description
--to LANG Target language (required): code or name, e.g. zh-CN, french, ja
--from LANG Source language (default: auto)
--format json Output as JSON

Common codes: en, zh-CN, zh-TW, ja, ko, fr, de, es, pt, ru, ar, hi, it

Full names also work: chinese (simplified), japanese, french, etc.

Notes

  • Source language is auto-detected when --from is omitted
  • Supports 100+ languages via deep-translator
  • For programmatic use, --format json returns structured output
Files

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.
