do-translate

name	do.translate
description	Translate documents smartly. Accepts a URL or a PDF file as input. Detects if it is an arXiv URL or paper. If yes, runs do.arxiv-translator. If it is a standard PDF, runs do.pdf-to-markdown followed by do.translate-markdown.

Translate (Smart Router)

This skill acts as a smart router for translation requests, automatically detecting the input type and invoking the correct specialized skills.

Workflow

1. Identify Input Type

• Extract the input from the user's request (e.g., an arXiv URL, a web URL, or a local PDF file path).
• Determine if the input is an arXiv paper. Examples:
  • The URL contains arxiv.org.
  • The URL contains arxiv: followed by an ID.
  • The file is a PDF downloaded from arXiv.

2. Route to Specialized Skill

• If arXiv Paper:
  • Execute the do.arxiv-translator skill on the input. This is optimal for arXiv papers as it compiles LaTeX source directly.
• If Standard PDF (Non-arXiv):
  • Step 2.1: Execute the do.pdf-to-markdown skill on the PDF to convert it to high-fidelity Markdown. Wait for the conversion checklist and promises to complete.
  • Step 2.2: Execute the do.translate-markdown skill on the resulting Markdown file to translate it into the target language.

3. Archive & Standardize Output

• After the PDF translation process is complete, you MUST move the final translated Markdown document (.md) and any extracted assets (like images) into the vault's paper directory: 60_Notes/papers/<Paper_Title>/.
• Ensure the file naming is standardized, such as 60_Notes/papers/<Paper_Title>/<Paper_Title>_<LANG>.md (e.g. 60_Notes/papers/Attention Is All You Need/Attention Is All You Need_CN.md). (Note: If routed to do.arxiv-translator, it handles its own .pdf archiving internally).

Guidelines

• Do not process the translation natively inside this skill. This is only a routing step.
• Ensure you wait for do.pdf-to-markdown to completely finish before triggering do.translate-markdown.

Rules

• Read deeporbit.json from the workspace root to determine the interaction language. Use this language for all your responses and generated note contents (e.g. zh-CN). The Obsidian folder paths themselves will ALWAYS remain in English.
• Set author: ai in frontmatter for every note you create; switch to author: mixed when substantially rewriting a human-authored note. Authorship lives in frontmatter only — never add visible badges.
