Paper Translate

Overview

Use this skill for cross-language transformation and Chinese academic rewriting. Keep SKILL.md focused on routing and load the exact template from references/ based on the input medium and output target.

Workflow

  1. Identify the source language and target language.
  2. Identify the medium:
    • LaTeX English output or LaTeX English input: load the matching LaTeX reference.
    • Chinese Word-style paragraph output: load the Word reference.
  3. Preserve domain terms, formulas, numbers, and citations unless the reference explicitly says to strip or convert them.
  4. Follow the output structure required by the selected reference exactly.

Reference Routing

  • For Chinese draft to English academic LaTeX: read references/latex-en.md.
  • For English LaTeX to Chinese literal translation: read references/latex-zh.md.
  • For Chinese draft to polished Chinese paragraph for Word: read references/word-zh.md.

Output Rules

  • Do not merge templates. Pick one primary reference per task.
  • Keep special character escaping consistent with the destination medium.
  • When the user mixes multiple goals, prioritize the explicit output format first, then style.
