TL;DR

This skill automates the translation of large-scale documents in PDF, DOCX, and EPUB formats. By breaking content into Markdown chunks and processing them via parallel sub-agents, it maintains the structure of complex texts while converting them into various output formats including HTML and PDF.

It is designed for multilingual researchers and publishers who need to localize academic papers or ebooks while preserving the integrity of technical layouts.

Suggested first task

Translate a book with default concurrency

Uses translate-book

  • A local input path replacing <file_path>
  • A PDF, DOCX, EPUB, or Markdown source book
Use the translate-book skill to translate the book at <file_path> into French (target language code `fr`) using the default concurrency. Replace <file_path> with the path to a PDF, DOCX, EPUB, or Markdown input file. Ask me for the file path if I have not supplied it.
