pm-localization
Translate text professionally — preserving tone, register, and meaning, not word-for-word. Use when asked to translate a document, email, or content between languages, or to improve a literal/machine translation. Produces a natural, register-appropriate translation plus translator's notes on choices, untranslatable terms, and anything that needs localization rather than translation.
What to give it
▸The text — and the source → target language (incl. regional variant where it matters — e.g. Simplified vs. Traditional Chinese, LATAM vs. European Spanish).
▸Register / audience — formal (legal, business), neutral, or casual; who reads it.
▸Context — what it is (email, contract, UI string, marketing, instructions) — it changes the choices.
▸Glossary / do-not-translate terms — brand names, product terms, anything fixed.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Reads natural and idiomatic in the target language — not a literal word map
✓Register/formality matches the audience and is noted (esp. you/formality distinctions)
✓Brand names, code, identifiers, and URLs are kept unchanged
✓Idioms, units, dates, and cultural references are adapted (or flagged), not translated literally
✓Regional variant is respected where it matters
✓Genuine ambiguities are surfaced, not silently guessed
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not translate word-for-word — convey meaning and tone the way a native would phrase it
Do not ignore register — the wrong formality (over-familiar or stiff) can offend or undermine
Do not translate idioms literally — render the equivalent expression or the plain meaning
Do not translate brand/product/proper names or code — keep them verbatim
Do not silently resolve ambiguity — flag it; the author may mean something specific
