This skill guides translation of book content for The Interactive Book of Prompting at prompts.chat.
The book has 25 chapters across 7 parts. Translation requires:
src/content/book/{locale}/messages/{locale}.jsonBefore starting, identify:
de, fr, es, ja, ko, zh)messages/ directorysrc/content/book/{locale}/ folder existsThe Turkish (tr) translation is complete and well-tested. Copy it as your starting point instead of translating from English:
mkdir -p src/content/book/{locale}
cp -r src/content/book/*.mdx src/content/book/{locale}/
cp src/components/book/elements/locales/en.ts src/components/book/elements/locales/{locale}.ts
⚠️ IMPORTANT: After copying, you MUST register the new locale in src/components/book/elements/locales/index.ts:
import {locale} from "./{locale}";locales object: {locale},export { en, tr, az, {locale} };This is faster because:
Edit each copied file in src/content/book/{locale}/ to translate from Turkish to your target language.

⚠️ DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP - The interactive demos will not work in the new language without this.
Translate the locale data file at src/components/book/elements/locales/{locale}.ts:
Then register it in src/components/book/elements/locales/index.ts:
import {locale} from "./{locale}";
const locales: Record<string, LocaleData> = {
en,
tr,
az,
{locale}, // Add your new locale here
};
export { en, tr, az, {locale} }; // Add to exports
book.interactive.*, book.chapter.*, book.search.*)Translate all interactive component labels and navigation strings.
Run the check script:
node scripts/check-translations.js
Start dev server and test:
npm run dev
Navigate to /book with the target locale to verify content loads
The English (en) translation is complete and serves as the base template for all new translations:
src/content/book/*.mdx — copy this files to src/content/book/{locale}/*.mdxmessages/en.json → book section — use as reference for structuresrc/content/book/*.mdx to src/content/book/{locale}/*.mdx"book" section from messages/en.json to messages/{locale}.json. Translate these in multiple agentic session instead of single time (token limit may exceed at once)
