wjs-translating-subtitles
Use when the user has an SRT (or transcript text) in one language and wants it translated to another, with punctuation-bounded re-segmentation so cues end at real sentence breaks. Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) and English (en) are first-class targets; other targets follow the same rules. Outputs a target-language SRT or bilingual SRT — no audio, no burn-in. Triggers — "翻译字幕", "翻成中文", "translate this SRT", "中英双语字幕", "把这个 SRT 翻译成 X", "bilingual subtitles".

# wjs-translating-subtitles Source-language SRT in → target-language (or bilingual) SRT out. **This skill is text-only.** Burn-in lives in `/wjs-burning-subtitles`; voice dub in `/wjs-dubbing-video`. ## When to use - User has an SRT in language A and wants it in language B. - User pasted a transcript (with or without timestamps) and wants a translation that becomes an SRT. - User has an SRT but cues end mid-sentence — this skill's re-segmentation step fixes that. ## When NOT to use - No source-language SRT yet → run `/wjs-transcribing-audio` first. - User wants burned-in subtitles → finish translation here, then `/wjs-burning-subtitles`. - User wants voice dub → finish translation here, then `/wjs-dubbing-video`. ## Pick the target Resolve target from the user's phrasing once, don't re-ask: - "翻成中文 / 中文字幕 / 中文配音" → `zh-CN`. - "translate to English / English subs / English dub" → `en`. - "bilingual" / "双语" → produce both `.<source>.srt` and `.<target>.srt` (and optionally a combined `.<source>-<target>.srt`). - Ambiguous → default to whichever the user has historically chosen in the project. Simplified Chinese and English are fully validated. Other targets (Japanese, Korean, French,

Where does this skill come from?
From jianshuo/claude-skills, a repository with 112 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.
