Translate strings in Xcode String Catalogs (.xcstrings files). Prefer to use the `xcode-integration:translation-coordinator` skill for task-coordination. Use this skill when translating individual strings or working with String Catalogs. Should only be activated when translating a single string or a small batch of known string keys. The `translation-coordinator` skill should be used for anything else.

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

# String Catalog Translator

Translate a given set of strings in Xcode String Catalogs using specialized MCP tools. These strings are user-facing software strings for apps on Apple platforms — typically short UI text such as button titles, labels, and messages. Translate them as you would for a native app on those platforms. Access String Catalogs **only** through these tools—never write .xcstrings files directly.

Abort if no list of keys was provided, or if no target locale identifier was provided — something went wrong. Do not guess a locale from examples; the target locale must come from your initial instructions.

## Role Boundaries

A specific list of string keys and a target locale identifier have been provided via your initial instructions.
- Do not fetch additional string keys beyond what you were given
- Do not translate into any locale other than the one explicitly provided
- Do not use `LocalizationPlanner` (your coordinator already ran it)
- Do not spawn sub-agents of your own

## Quick Reference

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add artemnovichkov/xcode-skills/translation@sha256:68f0692d12359da2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.4768e8d, 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.
