Translate captions into another language (or produce bilingual captions) while preserving segment count, timing, speaker labels, AND source punctuation density (no inserted em-dashes, parentheses, or bracketed glosses unless the source had them — downstream rendering shows every character). **Primary path uses this session's LLM directly — no API key, no model config.** Trigger on "translate captions", "翻译字幕", "翻译成中文/英文", "make bilingual subtitles", or "translate this" when working with…

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

# Caption Translator

> **Preferred model: Claude Sonnet** (cost-efficient for this agent-driven workload). This skill runs on whatever model is active in the parent session — any Claude model works; no hard switch. If you're deliberately on Opus / Haiku, that's fine.

This skill translates using **the agent's own LLM capability** — the model you are running right now. It does not call out to any external translation service by default. Helper scripts do the mechanical parsing, chunking, and writing so the agent only has to produce translations.

**Primary path** (agent-driven, default): `chunk.py` → agent translates → `merge.py` → `validate.py`.
**Secondary path**: `lai translate run` (CLI with its own LLM backend) — use only when there is no agent in the loop (batch pipelines, CI) or when a transcript is too large to fit in the agent's context.

## Invariants

Any violation is a bug; `validate.py` enforces them.

- Segment count, order, `start` / `end`, `speaker` — preserved verbatim
- Every output segment has non-empty text
- Bilingual mode (JSON): source `text` preserved, `translation` non-empty

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lattifai/lattifai-skills/lai-translate@sha256:37acbd67807be4f4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260513.0a51f69, 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.
