TL;DR

This skill automates the translation of full-length books in PDF, DOCX, and EPUB formats. By decomposing documents into Markdown chunks and deploying parallel sub-agents for translation, it maintains structure while processing large volumes of text.

It is designed for multilingual content creators and researchers who need to convert foreign language texts into readable HTML, DOCX, EPUB, or PDF outputs.

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Preprocess a book into translation chunks

Uses translate-book

  • Replace <path-to-book.pdf-or-docx-or-epub> with the input PDF, DOCX, or EPUB path.
  • Replace <target-language-code> with a target language code such as zh, en, ja, ko, fr, de, or es.

Check the repository for this skill’s setup.

Use the translate-book skill to preprocess the book at <path-to-book.pdf-or-docx-or-epub> for translation into <target-language-code>. Use the default concurrency and default temporary-directory location. Stop after conversion and report the created temporary directory, source chunks, and manifest; do not begin translating or building the final book.
