What is the difference between core and plugin translations?

Core translations are for the main Payload framework (ui, payload, next), while plugin translations are namespaced under the specific plugin name to prevent conflicts.

Does this skill work for any project?

No, this skill is specifically designed for the Payload CMS repository and follows its internal directory structure and naming conventions for core and plugin packages.

What is required to run the translation generation?

You must have an OPENAI_KEY environment variable set, as the underlying scripts use OpenAI to translate English strings into other supported languages.

Can this skill help me set up a new plugin for localization?

Yes, if a plugin lacks a translations folder, the skill can scaffold the required folder structure, types, and generation scripts automatically.

Automates the generation and scaffolding of internationalization strings for Payload CMS core packages and plugins.

关于

This skill streamlines the localization workflow within the Payload CMS ecosystem by managing both core and plugin-specific translations. It provides a structured process for adding English source keys, configuring client-side availability, and executing automated translation scripts powered by OpenAI. Beyond simple string management, the skill can scaffold the entire translation infrastructure for new plugins, including directory structures, type definitions, and the necessary scripts to maintain a consistent i18n implementation across the codebase.
