Compares UniGetUI JSON locale files against English, identifies untranslated or source-changed keys, and generates patch, reference, and handoff files for a target language.

What it does

Translation Diff Export is an agent skill from Devolutions/UniGetUI. Compares UniGetUI JSON locale files against English, identifies untranslated or source-changed keys, and generates patch, reference, and handoff files for a target language. Use when the user asks to export missing translations, untranslated strings, i18n diffs, or locale-file changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation and Internationalization. It works with Windows. The repository describes itself as: UniGetUI: The Graphical Interface for your package managers. Could be terribly described as a package manager manager to manage your package managers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to export missing translations
  • Untranslated strings
  • Locale-file changes

Example prompts

  • “Use the translation-diff-export skill to compare UniGetUI JSON locale files against English, identifies untranslated or source-changed keys, and…”
  • “/translation-diff-export”

Requirements

  • PowerShell

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check that .source.json is not empty unless you expected no work for that language.
  2. Confirm .translated.json is sparse and does not contain copied English placeholders for unfinished keys.
  3. If the patch should include recent English changes, rerun with -BaseRef and compare the resulting .source.json.
  4. Run the smoke test if you changed the export workflow itself.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ea50508. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (PowerShell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pwsh

    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

Translation Diff Export loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 322 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Compares UniGetUI JSON locale files against English, identifies untranslated or source-changed keys, and generates patch, reference, and handoff files for a target language. Use when the user asks to export missing translations, untranslated strings, i18n diffs, or locale-file changes.

translation diff export

Use this skill when you need a small UniGetUI translation patch instead of sending a full language JSON file for review or translation.

It exports only the active untranslated or source-changed strings, creates the translator handoff files, and prepares the patch set needed by translation-diff-translate and translation-diff-import.

Prerequisites

  • PowerShell 7 (pwsh).
  • git available on PATH.
  • cirup available on PATH.

When source strings changed, run translation-source-sync first so lang_en.json reflects current source usage before exporting downstream translation patches.

Scripts

  • scripts/export-translation-diff.ps1: Exports JSON patch artifacts and generates a translation handoff prompt.
  • scripts/test-translation-diff.ps1: Runs a local end-to-end smoke test against the checked-in UniGetUI language files.

Use this skill's wrapper scripts first; the downstream translate and import steps are documented in translation-diff-translate and translation-diff-import.

Usage

Export untranslated French strings only:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-diff-export/scripts/export-translation-diff.ps1 \
  -NeutralJson ./src/Languages/lang_en.json \
  -TargetJson ./src/Languages/lang_fr.json \
  -Language fr

Export untranslated French strings plus English source values changed since origin/main:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-diff-export/scripts/export-translation-diff.ps1 \
  -NeutralJson ./src/Languages/lang_en.json \
  -TargetJson ./src/Languages/lang_fr.json \
  -Language fr \
  -BaseRef origin/main

Optional parameters:

  • -OutputDir (default: generated/translation-diff-export)
  • -KeepIntermediate

Run the built-in smoke test:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-diff-export/scripts/test-translation-diff.ps1

Output

For lang_en.json and language fr, the script generates:

  • generated/translation-diff-export/lang.diff.fr.source.json
  • generated/translation-diff-export/lang.diff.fr.translated.json
  • generated/translation-diff-export/lang.diff.fr.reference.json
  • generated/translation-diff-export/lang.diff.fr.prompt.md

If -KeepIntermediate is used, git-baseline snapshots are kept under generated/translation-diff-export/tmp/.

The smoke test writes its temporary artifacts under generated/translation-diff-export-demo/.

Validate The Export

After export, confirm the patch is usable before handing it off:

  1. Check that .source.json is not empty unless you expected no work for that language.
  2. Confirm .translated.json is sparse and does not contain copied English placeholders for unfinished keys.
  3. If the patch should include recent English changes, rerun with -BaseRef and compare the resulting .source.json.
  4. Run the smoke test if you changed the export workflow itself.

Hand Off To Translate

After exporting the patch, use the generated .prompt.md file with translation-diff-translate to update the sparse translated working copy.

Hand Off To Import

After translating the patch, merge it back into the full language file with translation-diff-import:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-diff-import/scripts/import-translation-diff.ps1 \
  -TranslatedPatch ./generated/translation-diff-export/lang.diff.fr.translated.json \
  -SourcePatch ./generated/translation-diff-export/lang.diff.fr.source.json \
  -TargetJson ./src/Languages/lang_fr.json \
  -NeutralJson ./src/Languages/lang_en.json \
  -OutputJson ./src/Languages/lang_fr.merged.json

Keep the .translated.json file sparse. If a key is not translated yet, leave it out instead of copying the English source value into the working copy.
