Translates English .txt and .md files into Chinese while keeping sentence and paragraph structure. Use it to prepare bilingual study material or translation exercises.
npx skills add seefreed/skills --skill en-to-zh-translator -a claude-codeWhat en-to-zh-translator does
The skill reads an English file for context and tone, then writes the translated version beside it. The new filename ends in _zh, so notes.md becomes notes_zh.md. Sentence structure stays close to the source, and sentences split across lines are joined into complete lines.
Paragraphs and meaningful structural breaks remain in place; numerals keep their original form. The workflow is designed for .txt and .md files. Other file formats fall outside that stated scope.

- translate an English
.txtfile into Chinese - create a Chinese version of an
