Baoyu Translate

A three-mode (quick/normal/refined) translation pipeline for Claude Code with glossary merging, chunking, and parallel subagent drafting.

Content & WritingIntermediate★ 24,749⑂ 2,764AI score 10/10Last updated: Jul 4, 2026

What it does

  • Triggers on phrases like "translate", "翻译", "精翻", "localize", "proofread translation", or when you hand it a URL/file with translation intent.
  • Three modes: quick (direct), normal (analyze → translate, default), refined (analyze → draft → critique → revise → polish for publication quality).
  • Merges glossaries from a built-in EN→ZH list, project/user EXTEND.md, external glossary files, and a --glossary CLI flag.
  • Long documents (>4000 words) are split at markdown block boundaries via scripts/main.ts, translated by one subagent per chunk in parallel, then merged in order.
  • Every artifact lands in {source}-{lang}/: 01-analysis.md, 02-prompt.md, 03-draft.md, 04-critique.md, 05-revision.md, and the final translation.md.
  • Preserves markdown and YAML frontmatter (renaming source fields with a source prefix) and flags text-heavy images that may still need localization.

Who it's for

  • Content creators who regularly republish foreign tech blogs or newsletters.
  • Developers and technical writers localizing docs between English and Chinese/other languages.
  • Teams handling long documents where terminology consistency matters.

Example uses

  1. "精翻 this article URL" → refined mode runs the full analyze/draft/critique/polish chain and leaves an auditable file trail.
  2. Drop in a 10k-word whitepaper → terms are extracted into a session glossary, chunks are drafted in parallel, then merged.
  3. Run --style "technical" --audience "business" to re-voice the same source for an executive readership.

  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/baoyu-translate folder from the GitHub repo JimLiu/baoyu-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/baoyu-translate/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-translate ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal and check bun --version; if bun is missing, Node.js with npx also works.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill in: cp -r baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-translate ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Restart Claude Code and ask it to "translate this file to English".
  6. On first run it will ask for target language, mode, audience, style, and save location, creating an EXTEND.md you can later edit to add your own glossary.
