localization-and-literacy-ux

localization-and-literacy-ux is a skill for Claude Code from Kaguara/emerging-market-skills. It costs 97 tokens per session (2,286 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing interfaces that can be translated and understood by people with limited reading ability or little experience with software. It covers longer translated text, local number and date formats, right-to-left languages, and clear labels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building multilingual interfaces or products for first-time smartphone users. It helps handle text expansion, plurals, names, currencies, layouts, and icon labels.
Why use it?
It prevents translated text from being cut off, dates or amounts from being misunderstood, and icons from confusing people who do not know common interface symbols.

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-and-literacy-ux 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/audit_i18n.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Localization and literacy UX

The constraint

The interface will be read in a language whose words are longer than English's, by someone who may be literate in a different language than the one on screen, on a small display, in sunlight, on a phone that was set up by a relative. Some of them are using a smartphone for the first time, and have not learned that a magnifying glass means search or that three horizontal lines mean menu.

None of this is an accessibility afterthought. It is the mainline case, and almost every failure it produces is a layout or a data-formatting bug that could have been caught by a machine.

Hard rules

ID Rule Severity
LOC-001 Text containers stretch; never fix the height or width of a box holding a string. critical
LOC-002 Build sentences with a message formatter, never string concatenation. critical
LOC-003 Format numbers, dates, currency, and names with locale data, never by hand. warning
LOC-004 Run pseudo-localization in CI at the expansion factor of your longest language. warning
LOC-005 Never let an icon carry meaning on its own. warning
LOC-006 Use logical layout properties so right-to-left works without a second layout. warning
LOC-007 Every critical flow is completable without reading a paragraph. warning
LOC-008 Language is an explicit, persisted user choice, not an inference. warning
LOC-009 Do not hardcode the shape of names, addresses, or phone numbers. warning
LOC-010 Error messages name the cause and the next action, in plain translated language. advisory

Full detection criteria and remedies in rules.yml.

Judgment

Expansion hits hardest where you have least room. Long strings expand by a modest percentage; short ones can double. Interface labels — "Save", "Next", "Done" — are the shortest strings you have and they sit in the tightest boxes, usually a button someone sized to fit the English word. This is why LOC-001 is critical while most of this skill is a warning: a clipped label is not a cosmetic issue, it is a control whose function is now unknown.

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.
