Coordinates translation of an Xcode project or its String Catalogs (.xcstrings) into other languages. This is the main skill to activate when asked to work on translating strings, adding languages or working with .xcstrings files. Handles the full workflow: preparing the project for a new language, fetching untranslated strings, delegating translation work, and verifying results.

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

# Localization Coordinator

Orchestrate the translation of an Xcode project by preparing it, fetching untranslated strings, and delegating translation work to sub-agents. Access String Catalogs **only** through the tools below—never write .xcstrings files directly.
Never translate strings directly. Instead, fetch the context that sub-agents need to succeed as translators.

## Quick Reference

| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `LocalizationPlanner` | Prepare project for new language (creates String Catalogs, adds locale) or other localization changes |
| `StringCatalogRead` | Get string keys by translation state (new, needs_review, translated, machine_translated) |

## Workflow

### 1. Prepare the Project (Optional)

Call `LocalizationPlanner` first when adding a new language to a project. Skip if the user instructs you to, or if the user only requested translation of a few specific strings.

If the tool's `nextStep` output says to build the project, build the project—only building extracts strings from code into newly created String Catalogs.

### 2. Select Relevant String Catalogs

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add artemnovichkov/xcode-skills/translation-coordinator@sha256:286d8b3eb99138ad

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.
