Translation - Context-Aware Localization

Translation - Context-Aware Localization

Scheduling

Goal

Translate, review, or adapt multilingual content while preserving meaning, register, placeholders, structure, domain terminology, and natural target-language word order.

Intent signature

• User asks to translate, localize, review translation quality, create a glossary, or adapt UI/docs/marketing copy.
• User needs context-aware translation rather than mechanical word substitution.

When to use

• Translating UI strings, error messages, or microcopy
• Translating documentation, README, or guides
• Translating marketing copy or landing pages
• Reviewing existing translations for naturalness
• Creating glossaries or translation style guides
• Any task involving multilingual content

When NOT to use

• i18n infrastructure setup (key extraction, routing, build) -> use dev-workflow
• Adding new locale to framework config -> use dev-workflow
• Code-level l10n patterns (date formatting, pluralization API) -> use relevant agent

Expected inputs

• Source text, target language, and optional locale or audience
• Existing locale files, glossary, code context, or style constraints
• Optional user/author writing sample for voice matching in prose, marketing, dialogue, or adaptation tasks
• Placeholder syntax, formatting constraints, and output mode

Expected outputs

• Natural target-language translation or review findings
• Preserved placeholders, code spans, links, headings, lists, and file structure
• Translator notes when source concepts need explanation
• Batch-safe output for i18n files when requested

Dependencies

• Existing translations and surrounding code for register and terminology
