Author or review localized Tale UI messages, documentation, regional overrides, and glossary terms. Preserve meaning and exact UI labels while writing naturally in each locale, and verify key, content, and ICU parity. Read before editing non-English messages or docs or adding a locale.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Write each language for its readers

Tale addresses readers as a helpful peer: `you` in English, `du` in German and Swiss German, and
`tu` in French. Preserve that relationship and the complete meaning. A good translation uses the
syntax and vocabulary a reader expects in their language; it does not preserve English sentence
shapes merely because they came first.

## Establish scope and sources

Read the repo contract, then the applicable locale guide:
[English](locales/en/AGENTS.md), [German](locales/de/AGENTS.md),
[French](locales/fr/AGENTS.md), or [Swiss German](locales/de-CH/AGENTS.md).
For docs, also follow [write-docs](../write-docs/SKILL.md) and
the [local content contract](../write-docs/SKILL.md#discover-before-drafting).

In the task's note outside the clone, identify the files, reader's task, meaning to preserve,
terminology to verify, and likely language risks. Reuse an existing planning note; no additional
notes skill is needed. For a broad change, track coverage by page and locale, including what has
actually received a native-language read-through.

Use these sources for different questions:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tale-project/tale/write-translations@sha256:ccc10894706bf282

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.68386d3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
