What it does

Translate is an agent skill from bitsocialnet/5chan. Add, update, or remove 5chan i18next translations when locale changes are requested.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation. The repository describes itself as: A peer-to-peer 4chan alternative. The licence is GPL-3.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a31f565. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Translate loads about 692 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~692

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    read/print the key, copy it into a repo `.env`, or request it again when setup is ready. Use `--live` only for the task'

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Translate

  1. Determine the requested keys and English values from the user or public/translations/en/default.json. Discover supported languages from public/translations/; do not rely on a stale language count.
  2. Translate each value naturally, preserving placeholders, brand names, technical terms, and HTML. Keep terminology consistent across related keys.
  3. For a small change, prepare the maps directly. For substantial batches, delegate independent translation generation to at most four translator agents. Give each child its keys and a unique temporary map path. Children generate maps only; they never update locale files.
  4. One writer validates and applies the maps, one key at a time. Include all supported languages and English. Review the dry-run diff before writing:
bash
node scripts/update-translations.js --key <key> --map <unique-map.json> --include-en --dry
node scripts/update-translations.js --key <key> --map <unique-map.json> --include-en --write
  1. The update script rejects a concurrent writer. Wait for the owner to finish and rerun against current files; never remove a live lock or bypass it. See docs/agent-playbooks/translations.md for interrupted-lock recovery.
  2. Verify every requested key/language and placeholder after applying all maps. Remove only this task's temporary maps and report any uncertain translation.

Do not manually rewrite individual locale files. English fallback is allowed only for technical terms, brand names, or placeholders. Use --delete for an authorized key removal; use --audit --dry to inspect unused keys before an authorized --audit --write.

Optional semantic QA

After deterministic coverage and placeholder checks, use scripts/jev/translation-README.md for read-only QA of explicitly selected changed keys/locales. It checks meaning, negation, conditions, scope, and terminology; it does not apply translations. Start with offline validation. Live calls require the task's authorization, runtime credentials, a pinned model, and a budget. Evaluate the labeled sample corpus before relying on a model/language combination; inspect false alarms and unverified results as well as detected errors. A model pass supplements review and does not replace the one-writer workflow or deterministic checks.

The private machine configuration is shared across checkouts/worktrees. Run node scripts/jev/config.mjs --check for readiness without an API request; the helper reads the key itself. Do not read/print the key, copy it into a repo .env, or request it again when setup is ready. Use --live only for the task's bounded, authorized semantic QA.
