Kobo SRT Subtitle Translation FAQs

Question 1

What is the Kobo SRT Subtitle Translation skill?

Accepted Answer

It is a specialized Claude Code extension designed to translate SRT video subtitles for KoboToolbox documentation. It ensures translations are concise, adhere to strict character limits (35-50 per line), and follow official brand terminology.

Question 2

How does it handle technical XLSForm terms?

Accepted Answer

Unlike standard documentation, this skill keeps XLSForm technical terms in English within subtitles. This ensures they match what users see on screen in the interface and helps stay within tight character limits.

Question 3

When should I use this skill over general translation tools?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill specifically for KoboToolbox tutorials or webinars where you need to balance spoken language patterns with technical accuracy and strict on-screen readability requirements.

Question 4

Why does this skill use chunked context management?

Accepted Answer

It processes subtitles in groups of 20-30 to maintain narrative continuity and prevent 'hallucinations' that can occur with massive context windows, ensuring the translation flows naturally across the entire video.

Question 5

Does it support KoboToolbox brand guidelines?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It inherits rules for server names (Global vs. Humanitarian), UI capitalization (Formbuilder, Question Library), and gender-inclusive language for both Spanish and French locales.
