Review a product/codebase for internationalization readiness before you localize.

  • Asked if a product is ready to localize
  • SKILL.md covers Required Inputs, Output Format, Quality Checks and Anti-Patterns, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Review i18n readiness

What it does

I18n Readiness Review is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Review a product/codebase for internationalization readiness before you localize. Use when asked if a product is ready to localize, to review i18n readiness, find hard-coded strings/locale bugs, or prep for going multilingual. Produces a readiness audit — externalized strings, locale-aware formatting, layout/expansion, encoding/RTL, and a prioritised list of i18n fixes to make before translation starts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked if a product is ready to localize
  • Review i18n readiness
  • Find hard-coded strings/locale bugs
  • Prep for going multilingual

Example prompts

  • “/i18n-readiness-review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

I18n Readiness Review loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 446 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Review a product/codebase for internationalization readiness before you localize. Use when asked if a product is ready to localize, to review i18n readiness, find hard-coded strings/locale bugs, or prep for going multilingual. Produces a readiness audit — externalized strings, locale-aware formatting, layout/expansion, encoding/RTL, and a prioritised list of i18n fixes to make before translation starts.

i18n Readiness Review Skill

Localizing a product that isn't internationalized fails expensively — translators hit hard-coded strings, layouts break on longer languages, dates show in the wrong format, and RTL shatters the UI. i18n is the engineering groundwork; localization is the content. This skill audits whether the product is ready, so you fix the foundations before paying to translate into the cracks.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The product — web/app/codebase, stack/framework (i18n tooling differs).
  • Target languages — especially if any need RTL (Arabic/Hebrew), CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean), or are long (German/Finnish).
  • What you can share — code snippets, UI screenshots, or a description of how strings/formatting are handled today.

Output Format

i18n Readiness: [product]

A readiness audit across the dimensions that break localization, each with status (🟢 ready / 🟡 partial / 🔴 blocker) and the fix:

DimensionCheckStatusFix
String externalizationno user-facing text hard-coded; all in resource files / i18n keysmove strings to a catalog; no concatenated sentences
Formattingdates, numbers, currency, plurals via locale-aware libs (Intl/ICU)use Intl/ICU; never string-format dates
Pluralizationplural rules handled (not count + " items")ICU plural categories (some langs have 4–6)
Layout/expansionUI tolerates ~+30–40% text length; no fixed-width truncationflexible layouts, no text baked into images
EncodingUTF-8 throughout; CJK rendersUTF-8 end to end
RTLlayout mirrors for right-to-left scriptslogical CSS properties, dir attribute
Locale plumbinglocale selection, fallback, and persistence exista locale resolver + fallback chain
Assets/contentimages with text, examples, names are swappableexternalize locale-specific assets

Prioritised fixes — the blockers (🔴) first (hard-coded strings, no Intl formatting, broken RTL), then 🟡s. These must land before translation begins, or you translate into a broken foundation.

Verdict — ready to localize / fix-blockers-first / not yet, in one line.

Quality Checks

  • Checks string externalization (the #1 blocker) — no hard-coded or concatenated UI text
  • Verifies locale-aware formatting (Intl/ICU) for dates, numbers, currency, plurals
  • Assesses layout expansion (+30–40%) and RTL if a target needs it
  • Confirms UTF-8 / CJK encoding end to end
  • Prioritises blockers to fix before translation starts
  • Ends with a clear ready / not-ready verdict

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not start translating before i18n is ready — you'll translate into hard-coded strings and broken layouts
  • Do not concatenate sentence fragments — word order differs by language; translate whole strings with placeholders
  • Do not string-format dates/numbers — use Intl/ICU, or every locale shows them wrong
  • Do not assume text length — German/Finnish expand; fixed-width UI truncates and clips
  • Do not ignore RTL until late — retrofitting right-to-left into a left-to-right layout is a rebuild, not a tweak

Based On

Internationalization engineering practice — string externalization, ICU/Intl formatting & plurals, text expansion, RTL, UTF-8.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "If a product is ready to localize."
  • "Review i18n readiness."
  • "Find hard-coded strings/locale bugs."
  • "Prep for going multilingual."
