What it does
- Picks and installs a framework-appropriate i18n library (react-i18next, next-intl, vue-i18n), creates the config file and wires the provider at the app root.
- Runs the bundled
scripts/i18n_audit.pyto comparet('key')usage in source against locale JSON files and flag missing keys or parity gaps. - Uses ripgrep patterns to hunt down raw JSX text plus
aria-label,title, andplaceholderstrings, then swaps them for keys. - Handles plurals (
_one/_other), preserves placeholders, and pushes date/number formatting through Intl helpers. - Maps error codes to localized keys and blocks raw
error.messagefrom ever reaching the UI.
Who it's for
- Developers retrofitting multi-language support into an existing React/Next.js/Vue app.
- Teams maintaining two or more locales (default en-US + zh-CN) who currently diff key files by hand.
- Frontend owners who also need a language switcher, locale routing, and localized metadata.
Example uses
- "Scan src for hard-coded UI strings, convert them to
t()keys, and add entries to both en-US and zh-CN." - "Run the locale audit script and fix every missing or mismatched key until it reports zero."
- "Map backend error codes into the
errors.*namespace with a localized fallback for unknown codes."

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daymade/claude-code-skills/HEAD/i18n-expert/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- 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 i18n-expert folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/i18n-expert/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-code-skills/i18n-expert ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git - Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill in:
cp -r claude-code-skills/i18n-expert ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm
scripts/i18n_audit.pycame along and that Python 3 is available:python3 --version - Restart Claude Code, then ask something like "audit the i18n coverage in this repo" to trigger the skill.
