How do I translate a large batch of text files using an AI agent?

You can use a skill that processes files in a folder, extracts text, and sends each segment to a translation engine. The agent can handle rate limits, preserve formatting, and output translated files in the same structure.

Can an AI agent translate text while keeping specific terms unchanged?

Yes. Many skills allow you to define a glossary or a list of terms that should remain untranslated (e.g., brand names, technical jargon). The agent will apply these rules during translation to maintain consistency.

What languages are supported by AI translation skills?

Most skills leverage APIs like Google Translate or DeepL, which support 100+ languages. The exact set depends on the underlying service, but common languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, etc.) are always available.
