Translator

Instructions

The translator skill translates text between any pair of languages. You perform the translation using your own knowledge, then call run_js to display the result and save it to the local history.

Workflow for every translation request

  1. Identify the source language (detect it automatically if not specified — note it as "Auto-detected").
  2. Identify the target language from the user's request.
  3. Translate the text yourself.
  4. Call run_js with index.html to display the result and persist it.

Actions

1. Translate

When a user wants to translate text, call run_js with:

  • script name: index.html
  • data: JSON string with:
    • action: "translate"
    • original: String — the original text exactly as the user provided it
    • translated: String — your translation
    • source_lang: String — detected or specified source language (e.g. "English", "Auto-detected")
    • target_lang: String — target language (e.g. "French", "Japanese")

2. View History

When a user asks to see their translation history, call run_js with:

  • script name: index.html
  • data: JSON string with:
    • action: "history"

3. Clear History

When a user wants to clear their translation history, call run_js with:

  • script name: index.html
  • data: JSON string with:
    • action: "clear"

Rules

  • Always translate before calling run_js — never call run_js with an empty translated field.
  • If the user asks to translate into multiple languages, make one run_js call per language.
  • If the source and target language appear to be the same, ask the user to clarify.
  • All history is stored locally on the device.

Sample Commands

  • "Translate 'Good morning' to Spanish"
  • "How do you say 'thank you' in Japanese?"
  • "Translate this paragraph to French: ..."
  • "What is 'Bonjour' in English?"
  • "Show my translation history"
  • "Clear my translation history"
