Localization Workflow

Purpose

Define a repeatable docs localization pipeline for ClawSec README and wiki pages.

Scope

  • Source language: English (README.md, wiki/*.md)
  • Current translated language: Spanish (README.es.md, wiki/es/*.md)
  • Korean pilot language: Korean (README.ko.md, wiki/ko/*.md)
  • Future languages: wiki/<lang>/... and README.<lang>.md

Source of Truth Rules

  1. English files are canonical.
  2. Translations must preserve commands, file paths, code blocks, and identifiers exactly.
  3. Product names and skill names stay untranslated (ClawSec, OpenClaw, NanoClaw, Hermes, Picoclaw, skill package names).
  4. When translation coverage is partial, translated files must state scope explicitly.

Folder Conventions

  • README translations:
    • README.es.md
    • Future: README.fr.md, README.de.md, README.ja.md, etc.
  • Wiki translations:
    • wiki/es/INDEX.md
    • wiki/es/<page>.md
    • Future: wiki/fr/<page>.md, wiki/de/<page>.md, etc.
  • Localization assets:
    • wiki/i18n/terminology-en-es.md
    • wiki/i18n/translation-tracker.md

Update Workflow

  1. Normalize source docs first
    • Update English source docs for clarity and structure before translation.
  2. Record delta
    • Note changed English pages in wiki/i18n/translation-tracker.md.
  3. Scaffold missing pages (loop/script)
    • Dry-run: python scripts/i18n/bootstrap_language_from_en.py --lang <code> --dry-run
    • Apply: python scripts/i18n/bootstrap_language_from_en.py --lang <code>
    • Optional overwrite: python scripts/i18n/bootstrap_language_from_en.py --lang <code> --overwrite
    • Convenience scripts: npm run i18n:bootstrap:ko|fr|de|ja
  4. Translate changed pages
    • Preserve markdown structure and heading levels.
    • Keep command blocks untouched.
  5. QA pass
    • Verify links resolve.
    • Verify code blocks and inline commands are unchanged.
    • Verify terminology consistency using terminology-en-es.md.
  6. Regenerate exports
    • Run npm run gen:wiki-llms.
  7. Review and PR
    • Include summary of translated pages and remaining gaps.

Translation QA Checklist

  • Heading hierarchy preserved.
  • Command snippets unchanged and runnable.
  • File paths and URLs unchanged.
  • Skill and platform names unchanged.
  • Security terminology consistent.
  • wiki/INDEX.md has translation link entries.
  • wiki/<lang>/INDEX.md links back to key English pages when untranslated.

Suggested Language Rollout

  1. Spanish (es) done in phase 1 baseline.
  2. French (fr) and German (de) for broad technical audience.
  3. Japanese (ja) for high-fidelity platform docs.
