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

cf-translate 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 10d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to cf-translate — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Content Translation — Multilingual Publishing

Translate publication-ready ContentForge content into 15 languages while preserving brand voice integrity, citation accuracy, and SEO optimization. Three localization levels let you control the depth of cultural adaptation.

When to Use

Use /contentforge:cf-translate when you need:

  • Translated content for international markets (15 languages)
  • Brand-consistent multilingual content that matches your source voice in the target language
  • SEO-localized content with keywords adapted for target market search behavior
  • Citation-safe translations where URLs, source references, and inline citations remain intact
  • Cultural adaptation beyond word-for-word translation (adapted or transcreated levels)

Prerequisite: Content must be produced (or imported) through the ContentForge pipeline first. Raw untreated content should go through /contentforge:create-content before translation.

Localization Levels

Literal (Level 1)

Word-for-word structural translation. Preserves the exact document structure, sentence order, and paragraph boundaries. Translates meaning accurately but does not adapt cultural references, humor, or idiomatic expressions.

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.
