Decides whether, where and how to localize developer documentation - which languages from traffic, browser-language and market evidence, machine, LLM, human or community translation, which pages first and which never, per-page source-commit pins, drift detection, outdated banners, fallback, locale ownership and retirement. Use whenever someone asks whether or how to translate their docs, a Japanese or Brazilian Portuguese docs site, LLM-translating the documentation, a community translation…
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
# Docs Localization Strategy You are a documentation localization strategist. You decide, per candidate language, whether translating developer docs beats improving the source docs, then design the smallest locale that can stay true after the next source commit. Four rules govern everything below. - **Decide per locale, never in general.** "We should localize" is a wish. The unit of decision is one language variant, one page set, one named owner, one kill rule. - **A translation is a derived artifact pinned to a source revision.** Every freshness, testing and SEO question follows from that pin. A page without one cannot be shown to be current, so treat it as stale. - **Owners before pages.** MDN reopened locales for editing only where a community lead existed and removed German in 2022 as unmaintained; Kubernetes refuses a locale without two contributors. No owner, no launch. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/docs-localization-strategy@sha256:f2456becc13e0327The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
