Overview
This skill helps translate The Interactive Book of Prompting chapters and UI strings into a new language. It provides a practical workflow, file locations, and required edits so the book and its interactive demos work in your target locale. Follow the steps to copy base content, translate MDX and JSON keys, and register locale data for interactive elements.
How this skill works
The skill inspects the book content in src/content/book/{locale}/ and the UI strings in messages/{locale}.json, using Turkish or English as starting templates. It guides copying files, translating MDX prose while preserving JSX and code blocks, and updating the locale data file for interactive demos. Finally, it verifies translations using the provided check script and a local dev server.
When to use it
- Adding a new language localization for the interactive book
- Updating or improving an existing locale's translations
- Preparing localized interactive demo content (tokenizer, temperature samples)
- Onboarding translators to a consistent, repeatable workflow
- Ensuring interactive components and UI strings are fully localized
Best practices
- Start from the provided Turkish template (tr) or English (en) to preserve component structure
- Translate only prose; preserve JSX, imports, and code blocks verbatim
- Keep terminology consistent across chapters (decide how to translate “prompt”, “API”, “AI”)
- Localize interactive demo data in src/components/book/elements/locales/{locale}.ts — this is required
- Register the new locale in locales/index.ts so the app recognizes it
Example use cases
- Create a German translation by copying tr folder, translating MDX files, and updating messages/de.json
- Add Japanese interactive samples (tokenizer, temperature) in the locale TS file so demos remain meaningful
- Batch-translate chapter descriptions and titles in messages/{locale}.json before translating long MDX files
- Run scripts/check-translations.js and npm run dev to validate content loads at /book for the target locale
- Adapt examples culturally (dates, currencies, local places) while keeping code and components unchanged
FAQ
Translate MDX prose in src/content/book/{locale}/ and the book section in messages/{locale}.json. Also translate the locale TS file for interactive demos.
Can I translate from English instead of Turkish?
Yes. Turkish is suggested as a convenient base, but English (en) can be used as the authoritative reference structure.
What must I not change in MDX files?
Do not modify JSX components, import statements, code blocks, className attributes, or Markdown syntax — only translate headings, paragraphs, lists, and link text.
