Translation

Translates a provided list of Xcode String Catalog keys into one provided target locale via the StringCatalog MCP tools, with per-key context lookup. Worker role inside a localization flow — only use when delegated an explicit key list and target locale (normally by translation-coordinator); it aborts without them. Requires the xcode-tools MCP server. (Content extracted from your local Xcode on install.)

File contents

translation (stub)

Not yet extracted. This is a stub. The real skill is Apple-authored content that ships inside Xcode; Apple's license doesn't permit redistributing it, so this kit extracts it from YOUR Xcode instead.

To install the real content (requires Xcode 27+, ~5 seconds), run the extraction script that ships alongside these skills. Relative to this skill's own directory it is at:
../apple-api-updates/scripts/extract-apple-skills.sh
(In the Claude Code plugin layout it is also exposed at the plugin root as scripts/extract-apple-skills.sh. If apple-api-updates is not installed alongside, install it — the script ships inside it.)

If you are an agent reading this: resolve this SKILL.md's path and run that script with your shell tool. Skill bodies are cached for the session and you cannot run /reload-plugins yourself (it's a user command), so after extracting: answer the current request by reading the extracted SKILL.md and its references/ directly from disk (plain markdown, fully usable), and ask the user to run /reload-plugins — or start a new session — so future invocations serve the real content.
