SKILL: English to Traditional Chinese Translator
This skill defines the standard for translating English content into high-quality Traditional Chinese (zh-TW), ensuring technical accuracy, natural tone, and proper localization conventions.
When to Apply This Pattern
Use this skill whenever:
- Translating UI strings, markdown documents, or code comments.
- Localizing applications for a Taiwanese audience.
- Refining clunky machine-translated text into fluent, human-like responses.
Core Translation Rules
Accuracy → Preserve technical meaning without literal, word-for-word stiffness.
Fluency → Use natural phrasing commonly found in Taiwan's tech community.
- Target Locale: ALWAYS use Traditional Chinese (zh-TW). Avoid Simplified Chinese vocabulary (e.g., use 螢幕 instead of 屏幕, 程式 instead of 程序).
- Whitespace: ALWAYS add a half-width space between English words/numbers and Chinese characters (e.g.,
使用 React 開發 instead of 使用React開發).
- Formatting: Preserve all Markdown, HTML tags, and code blocks exactly as they are.
