skills: move translation skills to ./skills/, symlink from ~/.hermes/skills/
pptx-translate, chinese-text-normalize, dharma-translation: canonical location now ./skills/ with symlinks in ~/.hermes/skills/. translation-review: merged CSV/XLSX review + .dj comparison workflows into single SKILL.md. Added buddhist-terminology.md and terms-db-alignment.md references from Hermes version.

# PPTX Translation
|
||||
|
||||
Translate `.pptx` files between Chinese and English. Covers the full pipeline: extraction → translation → review → write-back.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Extract strings to YAML
|
||||
|
||||
Run `scripts/extract.py original.pptx strings.yaml`. Produces YAML with entries:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- slide: 1
|
||||
shape: 0
|
||||
run: 0
|
||||
kind: title
|
||||
zh: 开启生命的富足
|
||||
en: ""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `slide` — 1-based slide number
|
||||
- `shape` — 0-based shape index within slide
|
||||
- `run` — 0-based paragraph index within text frame (or computed index for tables)
|
||||
- `kind` — `title` | `subtitle` | `center_title` | `body` | `table` | `notes`
|
||||
- `zh` — source text
|
||||
- `en` — translation target (initially empty)
|
||||
|
||||
Table `run` index formula: `num_rows * col + row`. Reverse with `row = run % num_rows`, `col = run // num_rows`.
|
||||
|
||||
Speaker notes use `shape: -1`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Translate
|
||||
|
||||
**Do NOT call external translation APIs.** Translate directly — the agent IS the model. The user corrects this: "Why do you call external models to do it? You can do it yourself!"
|
||||
|
||||
Fill in the `en` field for every entry. Batch if needed, but translate in your response, not via API calls.
|
||||
|
||||
Terminology guidance for Buddhist/gratitude content:
|
||||
- 感恩=gratitude, 缘起=dependent origination, 众生=sentient beings
|
||||
- 因缘=causes and conditions, 三宝=Three Jewels, 福报=merit/blessings
|
||||
- 座上=formal practice, 座下=daily life practice, 共修=group practice
|
||||
- 上报四重恩=repaying the four great kindnesses
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Quality review
|
||||
|
||||
Scan for:
|
||||
- Terminology consistency (same zh term → same en term throughout)
|
||||
- Ellipsis convention — English uses 3 dots `...`, zh may use 6
|
||||
- Buddhist term accuracy
|
||||
- Missing translations
|
||||
- Overly literal renderings
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Write back with layout fixes
|
||||
|
||||
Run `scripts/build.py strings.yaml original.pptx translated.pptx`.
|
||||
|
||||
The script:
|
||||
- Replaces text in matching paragraphs (clears all runs, sets first run)
|
||||
- Replaces table cell text (using row/col from computed index)
|
||||
- Reduces font size by 18% (`FONT_SCALE = 0.82`) on all translated shapes and tables
|
||||
- Sets `auto_size = TEXT_TO_FIT_SHAPE` on text frames to handle overflow
|
||||
- English text is ~1.3–1.5× longer than Chinese — font shrink + auto-fit handles most cases
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternate scripts
|
||||
|
||||
The absorbed `pptx-translation` skill had alternate script names: `extract_pptx.py` and `build_pptx.py`. These are functionally equivalent to `extract.py` and `build.py` with minor formatting differences (docstrings, variable naming). If the primary scripts fail, the alternates are available in the archive at `~/.hermes/skills/.archive/pptx-translation/scripts/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
- "run" in the YAML is actually the **paragraph index** within a text frame, not the OOXML text-run index. python-pptx iterates paragraphs, not runs.
|
||||
- Font shrink only applies to runs that have an explicit `font.size` — inherited sizes from paragraph/layout defaults are skipped.
|
||||
- After write-back, verify with `python -m markitdown translated.pptx` to check text landed correctly.
|
||||
- Tables: font shrink is applied per-cell text frame. Each cell is its own text frame.
|
||||
- markitdown may fail with `ModuleNotFoundError: dotenv` — run `pip install python-dotenv` first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
- `scripts/extract.py` — extract strings from PPTX to YAML
|
||||
- `scripts/build.py` — write translations back with font shrink + auto-fit
