I18n Completer

At a glance
Catches an app's string catalog up with the code once per release: translating new text, pruning unused entries, and flagging unlocalized strings.
- Works in 7 steps: Build and audit. $SCRATCH is any… → suspects — literals that look like UI… → Debt budget. In each release, localize… → …
- Preparing a release by translating new UI copy against the project glossary
- SKILL.md covers Guiding principles, Steps, Making copy localizable and Committing, plus 1 more section
- Calls python3, make and git
What it does
This skill runs as a once-per-release catch-up rather than a constant requirement, so day-to-day work can add new copy without being blocked by translation. All edits go through a bundled script rather than hand-editing the catalog or baseline file directly, because the script checks placeholder formatting and keeps the exact structure the build tool expects.
Its guiding rules are to translate only what changed, leaving a finished translation alone unless it's wrong or breaks the project glossary, and to give every flagged string a decision — translated, excused by category, or logged as debt — rather than loosening detection to force an audit to pass. The order matters: code changes first, then a rebuild so extraction is current, then translating everything at once, then removing entries nothing uses anymore.
When your agent uses it
- Preparing a release by translating new UI copy against the project glossary
- Removing string catalog entries that no code references anymore
- Deciding whether a flagged string is UI copy or exempt code text
Example prompts
- “Run the release localization sync and translate what's new.”
- “Prune the string catalog entries nothing in the code uses.”
- “Run the localization audit and tell me what's unresolved.”
Requirements
- Python 3 to run the bundled localization script
- A project using an Xcode-style string catalog
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Build and audit. $SCRATCH is any temporary directory outside the repository.
- suspects — literals that look like UI copy, are not localized in that file, and are not
- Debt budget. In each release, localize the debt in files that changed since the previous
- Rebuild, then translate broken, missing, and untranslated in one file.
- unused and obsolete. prune removes every unused entry that is not marked
- Verify. make check formats changed Swift files, so it comes first.
- Report.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 386b8d0. 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:
python3makegit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Release-Time Localization Sync loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,728 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,728 words (~3,371 tokens).
“Prowl localizes its UI (Simplified Chinese today). Everyday work is not blocked by translations: a developer writes localizable English copy and moves on. This skill does the catch-up once per release, so every release ships with a complete translation of…”
