Translate an article to French
Input
If the user does not provide a specific article to translate, look at the
current status of the Git repository to check which article the user is
currently editing.
Steps
- Read the English article.
- Determine the French article path: replace
content/en/ with content/fr/.
The filename may differ (French slug), so match by uuid in the front matter
if a French version already exists. If the English version is wip.html,
then the French version uses the same name.
- Translate the article content following the rules below.
- If a French article already exists, update its content. Otherwise, create a
new file with an appropriate French slug.
- Disclose AI usage.
- Do not summarize anything.
Translation rules
- Keep all Markdown markup intact.
- Keep original link reference names and URLs unchanged.
- Do not translate code blocks or command examples.
- In French, footnote marks go before the punctuation.
- Avoid word-for-word translation: use idiomatic French and assume the reader is
a native speaker.
- Avoid "anglicismes" when a proper French equivalent exists.
- Avoid "on" as a pronoun.
- Translate the
title and description front matter fields.
- Keep
uuid, tags, cover, and attachments fields unchanged.
Disclose AI usage
To disclose AI usage in the frontmatter, add an ai-usage key with Translated from French or Traduit de l'anglais with your model name between parentheses,
e.g. (Claude Opus 4.7). If the key already exists, ask what to do.
