using-bgs-translator

using-bgs-translator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. It costs 94 tokens per session (6,275 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A translation workflow for Bethesda Game Studios plugins, which are game modification files such as .esp, .esm, and .esl. It prepares the plugin text for AI translation and exports files that xTranslator can use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or inspect a translation project, translate plugin text in batches, preview prompts, and export SST or XML translation files for xTranslator.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work involved in translating large numbers of in-game strings. Glossaries and protected text help keep important terms and parts unchanged.

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

using-bgs-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 5d 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 — 584 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using bgs-translator

bgs-translator is the agent-driven translation pipeline for Bethesda plugin text. It reads plugin strings, builds AI translation batches with glossary and protected-span handling, writes a project memory database, and exports SST/XML dictionaries for xTranslator or ESP-ESM Translator to finalize.

The browser GUI is the only GUI surface. The agent should prefer xtl for work it can do directly; use the GUI for human review, provider/key setup when the user wants it, prompt preview, progress monitoring, and manual cleanup.

Prerequisites — verify before any other command

xtl is the CLI entry point. It is PyPI-distributed (bgs-translator package) and is not bundled with this plugin; the vendored tree only carries documentation and helper scripts. On a fresh machine xtl version will fail.

This is a long-tail install task that the agent owns, not the user. Do not ask the user to install Python or pipx by hand. Run the readback first; if it fails, route to the setup skill which performs the install and PATH-fix.

# Readback. Run this BEFORE any of the workflow examples below.
xtl version

If xtl version errors with "command not found" or "not recognized", switch to setting-up-bgs-modding-environment (look at "Step 3A - Install or verify xtl" — it owns pipx install bgs-translator==0.9.0rc1, the pipx PATH-warning flow, and the post-install smoke). After install, return here and proceed.

For an already-installed xtl that is broken, stale, or behind a recent release, switch to maintaining-modding-environments ("Translator CLI maintenance" section).

The KB cache that xtl reads from is ~/.bgs-modding-superpowers/kb/packs, unified with this plugin's bgs_kb_* MCP tools. If bgs_kb_status lists a pack but xtl batch plan still produces a single-entry glossary subset, suspect a stale legacy cache at %LOCALAPPDATA%/bgs-modding-superpowers/kb and surface it to the user instead of accepting the poor glossary silently.

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.
