localization-brief
Plan the localization of a product/content for a new market — beyond translating the words. Use when asked to localize a product, plan market entry localization, prepare a localization brief, or figure out what to adapt for a new region. Produces a brief — target locales, what to translate vs. adapt vs. rebuild (UI, content, formats, imagery, payments, legal), priorities, and the risks/cultural pitfalls.

# Localization Brief Skill Localization is not translation — it's making a product *feel native* in a market, which touches formats, imagery, payment methods, legal norms, and cultural expectations far beyond the strings. This skill plans it: what to translate, what to adapt, what to rebuild for the locale, in priority order, with the cultural and regulatory pitfalls that sink naïve "just translate the UI" launches. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **The product/content** and the **target locale(s)** (language + region — fr-FR vs fr-CA matters). - **What it is** — SaaS UI, marketing site, app, docs, campaign — sets what needs adapting. - **Goal & depth** — testing a market (light) vs. full local presence (deep). - **Known constraints** — budget, what's already internationalized (i18n-ready or not). ## Output Format ### Localization Brief: [product] → [locale(s)] **1. Scope per locale** — language + region, and the depth (translate-only vs. full localization). **2. Translate / Adapt / Rebuild** — the core matrix; what each element needs: | Area | Action | Notes | |---|---|---| | UI strings | translate | register, length expansion (DE ~+30%) |

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
