What it does

I18n is an agent skill from Touch-N-Stars/Touch-N-Stars. Add, rename, or remove user-facing strings in src/locales. Use whenever a change introduces or touches a translated string, when npm run i18n:check fails, or when English-only keys need to be mirrored into the other 13 locales.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: a WebApp to controll NINA. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A change introduces
  • Touches a translated string
  • Npm run i18n:check fails
  • English-only keys need to be mirrored into the other 13 locales

Example prompts

  • “/i18n”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. English first. While implementing a feature, add the new keys to
  2. npm run i18n:check will now fail with missing (N) for all 13 locales.
  3. Ask the user before generating translations. Do not silently write the
  4. After mirroring: npm run i18n:check must pass, then npm run format:check.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c7af082. 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:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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

I18n loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 562 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Add, rename, or remove user-facing strings in src/locales. Use whenever a change introduces or touches a translated string, when `npm run i18n:check` fails, or when English-only keys need to be mirrored into the other 13 locales.

i18n keys in Touch'N'Stars

src/locales/ holds 14 files. en.json is the base locale; the other 13 (ca cn cz de es fr it ja ko nl pl pt uk) must mirror it exactly — same key set, same placeholders, same plural forms. npm run i18n:check gates this and runs in ci:verify.

Working order (do not shortcut)

  1. English first. While implementing a feature, add the new keys to src/locales/en.json only. Leave the other 13 alone.
  2. npm run i18n:check will now fail with missing (N) for all 13 locales. That is the expected mid-work state — not a regression to chase.
  3. Ask the user before generating translations. Do not silently write the other 13 locales. Ask once, listing the keys, then generate them in one pass.
  4. After mirroring: npm run i18n:check must pass, then npm run format:check.

Step 3 is a standing rule from the user: translations are produced deliberately, in one batch, right before the commit — never scattered through the work.

Key naming

Top-level namespaces in en.json: common general pages app whatsnew updates setup components plugins pinsDevices dialogs loading observationPlaner nightsummary indi nav

  • UI component strings go under components.<componentName>.<key>.
  • Plugin strings go under plugins.<pluginId>.<key> (see src/plugins/plugins.md).
  • Reuse common.* for generic words (OK, cancel, close) instead of adding a component-local duplicate.

What check-i18n.mjs actually enforces

Per locale, against en.json:

RuleFailure text
Every base key presentmissing (N)
No keys absent from baseextra (N)
No empty / whitespace-only valuesempty (N)
Identical {placeholder} set per keyplaceholder mismatches
Identical plural suffix set per group (zero one two few many other)plural mismatches
No duplicate keys in the same objectduplicate keys
Valid JSONinvalid JSON

Placeholders are compared as a set of names, so {count} must survive translation verbatim — a translator writing {Anzahl} fails the check. Plural groups are detected purely by the last path segment, so a legitimate key ending in .one or .other will be treated as a plural form.

Editing: by hand vs. helper scripts

For a block of related keys, edit the JSON files directly — one edit per file beats 10 script invocations, and it keeps the keys grouped in the right object.

Helper scripts exist for one-off keys:

bash
npm run locale:entry -- de components.foo.bar "Wert"   # one locale
npm run locale:entry:all -- components.foo.bar "Value" # all 14, same value
npm run locale:find-missing-keys                       # en vs. de only

Trap: both locale:entry scripts rewrite the file with JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2) and no trailing newline, which fails format:check. Always run npm run format (or npx prettier --write src/locales) after using them. They also write LF into CRLF files; git normalizes that, so the diff stays clean, but do not be surprised by the LF will be replaced by CRLF warning.

locale:find-missing-keys only compares en against de — it is not a substitute for i18n:check.

Translation quality

  • Keep strings short: they render on narrow mobile viewports next to 48 px touch targets. A German string ~30% longer than English will wrap or clip.
  • Keep astronomy/N.I.N.A. domain terms untranslated where the community uses the English term (e.g. Framing, Flat, Dither, Meridian Flip).
  • Match the register of the surrounding keys. de.json is mixed: newer areas (setup wizard, PINS, tooltips) use informal "du", older error dialogs still use "Sie". Prefer "du" for new strings, but stay consistent within one screen — read the neighbouring keys before writing.
  • Never translate {placeholder} names or the | separators of plural forms.

Removing / renaming keys

Remove the key from all 14 files in the same change, otherwise the 13 locales fail with extra (N). Grep for the key before deleting:

bash
grep -rn "components.foo.bar" src --include=*.vue --include=*.js
