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

managing-app-localizations 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/validate-translations.js), 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

Managing App Localizations

When to use

Request Action
"add a language" Add locale to config, create locale JSON, create metadata folders
"fix missing translations" Run validate-translations.js, fill missing keys
"audit all locales" Run validate-translations.js without a locale filter
"translate strings" Copy en.json, fill values, validate

File structure

.msd/locales/{app-id}/
├── en.json     ← Source of truth — all keys must be here
├── tr.json     ← All keys from en.json, values in Turkish
└── de.json     ← All keys from en.json, values in German

Steps — Add a new locale

  1. Confirm locale codes: skills/managing-app-localizations/references/locale-codes.md
  2. Copy source: cp .msd/locales/{appId}/en.json .msd/locales/{appId}/{i18next-code}.json
  3. Translate all values in the new file (never translate {{variable}} placeholders)
  4. Validate: node skills/managing-app-localizations/scripts/validate-translations.js {appId}
  5. Create metadata folders:
    • mkdir -p .msd/metadata/{appId}/ios/{ios-locale}
    • mkdir -p .msd/metadata/{appId}/android/{play-locale}
  6. Copy metadata from en-US/ and translate each .txt file
  7. Validate metadata: node skills/managing-store-metadata/scripts/validate-metadata.js {appId}
  8. Add locale to .msd/config/{appId}.config.jsonlocales[] array
  9. For RTL locales (ar, he, fa, ur): note that I18nManager.forceRTL(true) is required in app startup

Rules

  • Never translate {{variable}} or ${variable} placeholders in translation strings
  • Batch max 50 keys per AI translation call for quality control
  • Avoid machine-only translation for Turkish, Arabic, Japanese — quality suffers
  • Provide app glossary/context to translators for brand terms
  • validate-translations.js exits 1 if any source key is missing in any locale

What ships with it

2 files 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.
