wjs-translating-subtitles

wjs-translating-subtitles is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jianshuo/claude-skills. It costs 132 tokens per session (2,659 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A subtitle translation workflow that turns an SRT file or transcript into subtitles in another language. It also splits subtitle lines at real sentence breaks instead of leaving sentences cut between cues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to translate subtitles or transcript text into English, Simplified Chinese, or another target language, and to create source, target, or bilingual SRT files.
Why use it?
It avoids translating and timing subtitles as separate manual jobs. It keeps the result readable by re-segmenting lines around punctuation and can produce bilingual subtitle files.

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

wjs-translating-subtitles 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 13d 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 — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

wjs-translating-subtitles

Source-language SRT in → target-language (or bilingual) SRT out. This skill is text-only. Burn-in lives in /wjs-burning-subtitles; voice dub in /wjs-dubbing-video.

When to use

  • User has an SRT in language A and wants it in language B.
  • User pasted a transcript (with or without timestamps) and wants a translation that becomes an SRT.
  • User has an SRT but cues end mid-sentence — this skill's re-segmentation step fixes that.

When NOT to use

  • No source-language SRT yet → run /wjs-transcribing-audio first.
  • User wants burned-in subtitles → finish translation here, then /wjs-burning-subtitles.
  • User wants voice dub → finish translation here, then /wjs-dubbing-video.

Pick the target

Resolve target from the user's phrasing once, don't re-ask:

  • "翻成中文 / 中文字幕 / 中文配音" → zh-CN.
  • "translate to English / English subs / English dub" → en.
  • "bilingual" / "双语" → produce both .<source>.srt and .<target>.srt (and optionally a combined .<source>-<target>.srt).
  • Ambiguous → default to whichever the user has historically chosen in the project.

Simplified Chinese and English are fully validated. Other targets (Japanese, Korean, French, etc.) work via the same rules; the bottleneck is TTS-voice availability if dubbing follows — see /wjs-dubbing-video before promising.

Shared translation principles

  • Prioritize meaning over literal wording.
  • Use concise subtitle-style language — viewers read at ~3 wps for Chinese, ~3–4 wps for English; lines that exceed that go off-screen before they can be read.
  • Preserve the tone of the speaker. Casual source → casual target; formal source → formal target.
  • Do not over-translate names, brands, cultural references, or technical terms.
  • Keep numbers, dates, names, and places accurate.
  • If a phrase has no exact equivalent, translate the meaning naturally. No literal/word-for-word constructions.
  • Avoid stiff, machine-translated output.
