dsh-plugin-translation

A translation toolkit for DeepSeek Harness agents: chunking, glossary extraction, source–target QA, tone guides, and a durable translation memory. The model translates; the plugin chunks, checks, and remembers.

Install

dsh plugin --profile <profile> add dsh-plugin-translation

Restart DSH. The translate_kit tool is registered host-wide.

Tool

action	purpose
segment	Split text into numbered, bounded chunks for chunked translation
glossary	Extract candidate terms (acronyms, camelCase, domains, numbers+units, emails, URLs) with counts
check	Source–target QA: numbers/units, brackets, length ratio, doubled punctuation
tone	Register-specific tone guide (formal / colloquial / technical, en / zh)
memo_get	Read the translation memory (newest first)
memo_add	Save a source→target pair to the memory file in the session workspace
glossary_get	Read the durable glossary (newest first)
glossary_add	Add or update a source→target glossary term in the workspace glossary file
glossary_remove	Remove a glossary term by source
consistency	Cross-segment terminology consistency check against the glossary

Config

All optional, on the composition row's config:

key	default	meaning
personaSection	true	register the translation prompt-guidance section
sectionOrder	6	prompt section order (persona is 0, ascending)
memoFile	.dsh/translation-memo.md	memory file path (relative to the session workspace; cannot escape it)
glossaryFile	.dsh/translation-glossary.md	glossary file path (relative to the session workspace; cannot escape it)
maxGlossaryEntries	200	entries kept in the glossary file
maxMemoEntries	200	entries kept in the memory file

Design

Pure logic (lib/translation.js) has zero DSH/Cordis imports and is unit-tested in isolation; lib/index.js is the thin Cordis plugin. Memory access goes through ctx.fs and every resolved path is containment-checked against the session workspace.

Roadmap

See ROADMAP.md — next five versions (v0.2.0 – v0.6.0): glossary management & consistency, tone memory & quality scoring, side-by-side diff & placeholder protection, conflict detection & effort stats, glossary versioning & batch pipeline.
