What it does

Translate is an agent skill from vechain/x-app-template. Manages translation files for react-i18next. Adds/removes keys across 15 languages, keeps files sorted, enforces fixed-word rules, and verifies sync with en.json.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Vechain VeBetterDAO X-App template. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Translation

Example prompts

“Use the translate skill to manage translation files for react-i18next. An agent skill from vechain/x-app-template”
“/translate”

Requirements

Node.js

Workflow steps

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

Add the new key to en.json with the English value
Add the same key to ALL other language files with the correct translation for the language of the file
After adding to all files, sort ALL translation files alphabetically by key (case-insensitive)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8692b6a. 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:
- node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- github.com
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

Translate loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~43
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Translate Skill

Manages translation files in apps/frontend/src/i18n/languages/.

Translation Files

15 languages: en (source), de, es, fr, hi, it, ja, ko, nl, pt, sv, tr, tw, vi, zh
Format: flat JSON key-value pairs (keys = English phrases)
Interpolation: {{variableName}}
Library: react-i18next configured in apps/frontend/src/i18n/index.tsx
Language list defined in apps/frontend/src/i18n/index.tsx (languages array)

When Adding New Translation Keys

Add the new key to en.json with the English value
Add the same key to ALL other language files with the correct translation for the language of the file
After adding to all files, sort ALL translation files alphabetically by key (case-insensitive)

When Removing Translation Keys

Remove the key from ALL 15 language files
Files should remain sorted after removal

Sorting Rules

All translation JSON files MUST have keys sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive)
Sorting applies to ALL language files, not just en.json
After any modification, verify keys are sorted

Sort Procedure

For each .json file in apps/frontend/src/i18n/languages/:

Parse the JSON
Get all keys and sort them case-insensitively
Rebuild the object with sorted keys
Write back with 2-space indentation and trailing newline

Use a Node.js script or jq to sort. Example with Node.js:

bash

node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const glob = require('glob');
const files = glob.sync('apps/frontend/src/i18n/languages/*.json');
files.forEach(f => {
  const obj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(f, 'utf8'));
  const sorted = Object.keys(obj)
    .sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b, undefined, { sensitivity: 'base' }))
    .reduce((acc, key) => { acc[key] = obj[key]; return acc; }, {});
  fs.writeFileSync(f, JSON.stringify(sorted, null, 2) + '\n');
});
"

Sync Check

After any translation change, verify:

en.json has all keys that exist in code (search for t("...") usage)
All non-English files have the EXACT same keys as en.json
Missing keys in non-English files get the correct translation for the language of the file
Extra keys in non-English files (not in en.json) should be removed
All files are sorted alphabetically by key

Fixed Words

See apps/frontend/src/i18n/fixedWords.json. Grouped by language code ("all" applies to every language).

Two use cases:

Untranslated words — value equals the English word (e.g. "round": "round" keeps "round" in English for Italian)
Fixed translations — value is the mandatory translation for that concept (e.g. "endorsement": "supporto" means always use "supporto" for endorsement in Italian)

When translating, ALWAYS check this file first. If a word has a fixed translation for the target language, use it consistently in every sentence.

VeChain Kit: bi-directional language sync

If the app uses @vechain/vechain-kit, keep Kit UI language in sync with the host app:

App → Kit: Inside VeChainKitProvider, subscribe to i18n.on("languageChanged", ...) and call setLanguage(lng) from useCurrentLanguage() so when the user changes language in the app (e.g. footer selector), Kit updates.
Kit → App: Pass language={i18n.language} and onLanguageChange={(lng) => i18n.changeLanguage(lng)} into VeChainKitProvider so when the user changes language in Kit (e.g. wallet modal), the app updates.

See the vechain-kit skill reference translations-vechain-kit.md for the full implementation pattern.

Pre-commit and ESLint (missing / unused keys)

Unused keys in en.json: Run a script that finds keys in en.json never used in code (t("..."), i18nKey="...") and exit non-zero so pre-commit fails. Run when en.json or code is staged.
Missing keys in other locales: Run a script that compares each locale's keys to en.json and fails if any locale has missing or extra keys. Run when any translation file is staged or in CI.
ESLint: Optionally add eslint-plugin-i18next (or similar) to flag missing keys in the editor/lint.

See the vechain-kit skill reference translations-vechain-kit.md for a short summary table.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add vechain/x-app-template --skill translate -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/translate, .gemini/skills/translate, .github/skills/translate and .opencode/skills/translate in your project.

What does Translate need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Translate needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node). Our summary lists: Node.js.
