Translation Skill for Documentation Localization #913
Description
I have manually translated several documents into Japanese so far, but it has been taking too much time. So, I created a translation skill and tried using it to retranslate Japanese documents that had become outdated, and I was able to get very good results. The skill includes the knowledge and experience I accumulated while translating documents manually.
I designed the skill so that it could be used with other languages as much as possible, although I have not tested it with languages other than Japanese.
Using this skill, it should be possible to continuously generate newly translated documents with GitHub Actions. I would like to provide this skill so that others can make use of it.

Is this skill generic, or specific to Japanese?
takashiuesaka commentedon May 14, 2026
I am creating the skill to be generic, but I can only test Japanese translation because I only understand Japanese and English.
takashiuesaka commentedon May 14, 2026
I am still working on the skill and checking the quality of the results. I realized that language-specific instructions are needed, so I created another markdown file for Japanese translation and referenced it from SKILL.md. So far, it has been working well.

Yeah, I was going to recommend references for each supported language. Looking forward to it. Thank you!

This proposes a new skill (translation), not a doc fix. Decisions you'll need to make before Copilot can build anything:
