PDF Translator Skill

Instructions

Follow these steps to translate a PDF file:

  1. Identify the PDF File: Confirm the path to the PDF file the user wants to translate. If the path is relative, resolve it to an absolute path.
  2. Extract Text: Use the extract_text.py script located in the scripts directory of this skill to extract text from the PDF.
    • Command: python3 skills/pdf-translator/scripts/extract_text.py <path_to_pdf>
    • Note: Ensure you are using the correct python environment (e.g., .venv/bin/python if applicable, or just python3 if dependencies are installed globally).
  3. Translate Content:
    • Read the output from the extraction step.
    • Translate the extracted text into the target language requested by the user (default to the user's primary language or English if ambiguous).
    • Maintain the original structure (headings, paragraphs) as much as possible using Markdown formatting.
  4. Save Output:
    • Create a new Markdown file with the translated content.
    • Filename format: <original_filename>_translated.md.
    • Notify the user of the output file location.
