What it does

Add Translation is an agent skill from SukramJ/aiohomematic. Add or update translation keys for i18n. Covers strings.json (primary source), en.json sync, and de.json German translations. Use when adding new log messages, UI strings, or updating existing translations.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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: Python 3 Interface to interact with HomeMatic devices. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding new log messages
  • Updating existing translations

Example prompts

  • “/add-translation”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Use Translation in Code
  2. Add to Translation Catalogs (in this order)
  3. Validate Translations

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3fdfe2. 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:

    • python

    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

Add Translation loads about 445 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~445

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.

description
Add or update translation keys for i18n. Covers strings.json (primary source), en.json sync, and de.json German translations. Use when adding new log messages, UI strings, or updating existing translations.

Adding a Translation

IMPORTANT: aiohomematic/strings.json is the primary source for all translation keys. The file translations/en.json is automatically synchronized from strings.json.

Step 1: Use Translation in Code

python
from aiohomematic import i18n

# In code (for log messages)
_LOGGER.info(i18n.tr("log.my.message.key", param=value))

Step 2: Add to Translation Catalogs (in this order)

bash
# Step 1: Add key to aiohomematic/strings.json (PRIMARY SOURCE)
{
  "log.my.message.key": "My message with {param}"
}

# Step 2: Run sync script to copy to en.json
python script/check_i18n_catalogs.py --fix

# Step 3: Add German translation to translations/de.json
{
  "log.my.message.key": "Meine Nachricht mit {param}"
}

Step 3: Validate Translations

bash
python script/check_i18n.py aiohomematic/  # Check usage in code
python script/check_i18n_catalogs.py       # Check catalog sync
