What is the source of truth for translations?

English is the source of truth; all other language files are automatically generated based on the keys and values defined in the English translation files.

How do I add a new translation to the core package?

Add the English key to packages/translations/src/languages/en.ts, register it in clientKeys.ts if needed, and then run the pnpm generateTranslations:core script.

Do I need an API key to use this skill?

Yes, an OPENAI_KEY environment variable is required because the generation scripts utilize OpenAI to perform the actual language translations.

Does this skill support automated translation for custom plugins?

Yes, it can scaffold a translation directory for new plugins and generate specific scripts to translate them using OpenAI, ensuring they are correctly namespaced.
