What it does

Once installed, the agent translates text, articles, and documents into a target language (default Simplified Chinese) using a chosen mode: quick, normal (analyze then translate), or refined (translate, review, and polish). It remembers your preferences in an EXTEND.md file, can apply a built-in English-to-Chinese glossary or your own terms, and can split long markdown files into chunks so long documents are handled piece by piece.

Great for

  • Bloggers or readers who want publication-quality Chinese or English versions of articles
  • Translators who want a consistent glossary and style across a long document
  • People who need long markdown documents split into manageable sections before translation

Skip it if

  • Certified or legal translations where a human translator must verify accuracy, since output is unreviewed machine translation
  • Very sensitive confidential documents, because content may be sent to the model and, if fetched, to the internet via URLs

Try asking

  • “Translate this article to Chinese: https://example.com/post”
  • “精翻 this README into Chinese using my glossary”
  • “Quick translate this paragraph to English”
  • “Split this long markdown file into chunks before translating”

Get better results

  • Set up EXTEND.md once with your target language, audience, and glossary so you are not asked each time
  • Use refined mode for important documents and review the output yourself before publishing
  • Provide a custom glossary for names and technical terms to keep them consistent
