What it does

Translation Source Sync is an agent skill from Devolutions/UniGetUI. Synchronizes the UniGetUI English language file with source-code usage, identifies missing translation keys, removes unused entries, reports localization drift, and can reorder locale files to match the English key ordering. Use when the user asks to sync language files, missing translations, i18n drift, or align locale file ordering with English.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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, Avalonia and C#. 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 sync language files
  • Missing translations
  • Align locale file ordering with English

Example prompts

  • “Use the translation-source-sync skill to synchroniz the UniGetUI English language file with source-code usage, identifies missing translation keys…”
  • “/translation-source-sync”

Requirements

  • PowerShell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run translation source sync after changing any translatable source string.
  2. If -CheckOnly reports drift, run the full sync to rewrite lang_en.json.
  3. Review warnings for interpolated translation calls and convert them to stable literals or add the missing English keys manually when needed.
  4. Run pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/set-translation-boundary-order.ps1 to align locale ordering with English.
  5. Run pwsh ./scripts/translation/Verify-Translations.ps1 to confirm the language files still validate cleanly.
  6. Run pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/test-translation-source-sync.ps1 if you changed the sync workflow itself.
  7. Export changed work for translators with translation-diff-export.

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 Source Sync loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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
Synchronizes the UniGetUI English language file with source-code usage, identifies missing translation keys, removes unused entries, reports localization drift, and can reorder locale files to match the English key ordering. Use when the user asks to sync language files, missing translations, i18n drift, or align locale file ordering with English.

translation source sync

Use this skill when UniGetUI source code changed and you need to keep src/Languages/lang_en.json aligned with the strings actually used by the application, or when you need downstream locale files reordered to match the English key ordering.

It scans supported C#, WinUI XAML, and Avalonia AXAML patterns, finds missing English keys, removes unused entries, reports translation-source warnings that still need manual cleanup, and can align locale file ordering to the English layout.

Scope

  • Extract literal translation keys from supported UniGetUI source patterns.
  • Add new English keys missing from lang_en.json.
  • Remove English keys that are no longer used.
  • Reorder non-English locale files to match the English key ordering.
  • Warn about interpolated CoreTools.Translate($"...") calls that are not synchronized automatically.
  • Leave downstream language propagation to the existing translation diff workflow.

Supported extraction sources

  • CoreTools.Translate("...") in C#.
  • CoreTools.AutoTranslated("...") in C#.
  • widgets:TranslatedTextBlock Text="..." in WinUI XAML.
  • settings:TranslatedTextBlock Text="..." in Avalonia AXAML.
  • {t:Translate Some text} and {t:Translate Text='A, B, C'} in Avalonia AXAML.

Out of scope for v1

  • Interpolated translation calls such as CoreTools.Translate($"Running {value}").
  • Non-literal translation inputs passed through variables.
  • CI enforcement.

Scripts

  • scripts/sync-translation-sources.ps1: Skill wrapper around the repository sync script.
  • scripts/set-translation-boundary-order.ps1: Skill wrapper around the repository locale reordering script.
  • scripts/test-translation-source-sync.ps1: Skill wrapper around the repository smoke test.
  • ../../../../scripts/translation/Sync-TranslationSources.ps1: Canonical repository implementation used by the wrapper.
  • ../../../../scripts/translation/Set-TranslationBoundaryOrder.ps1: Canonical repository implementation used by the wrapper.
  • ../../../../scripts/translation/Test-TranslationSourceSync.ps1: Canonical smoke test used by the wrapper.

Usage

Synchronize the checked-in English language file in place:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/sync-translation-sources.ps1

Check whether the English file is out of sync without writing changes:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/sync-translation-sources.ps1 -CheckOnly

Reorder locale files to match the English key ordering:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/set-translation-boundary-order.ps1

Preview whether locale files need reordering without writing changes:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/set-translation-boundary-order.ps1 -CheckOnly

Run the smoke test:

powershell
pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/test-translation-source-sync.ps1

  1. Run translation source sync after changing any translatable source string.
  2. If -CheckOnly reports drift, run the full sync to rewrite lang_en.json.
  3. Review warnings for interpolated translation calls and convert them to stable literals or add the missing English keys manually when needed.
  4. Run pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/set-translation-boundary-order.ps1 to align locale ordering with English.
  5. Run pwsh ./scripts/translation/Verify-Translations.ps1 to confirm the language files still validate cleanly.
  6. Run pwsh ./.agents/skills/translation-source-sync/scripts/test-translation-source-sync.ps1 if you changed the sync workflow itself.
  7. Export changed work for translators with translation-diff-export.

Notes

  • Existing English values are preserved for retained keys; newly added English entries default to key == value.
  • The sync script preserves current key order for retained entries and appends newly discovered keys deterministically.
  • The locale reorder script follows English as the canonical order and appends unmapped locale-only keys at the end.
  • The smoke test uses a temporary synthetic repo so it does not mutate the checked-in language files.
