Chinese to Japanese Translator

Translate Chinese text into natural, accurate Japanese.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

User explicitly asks to translate Chinese to Japanese
User mentions keywords like "翻译成日语", "日文翻译", "translate to Japanese"
User provides Chinese text and context suggests they want Japanese translation
User wants to translate Chinese files (.txt, .md, .docx, etc.) to Japanese

Translation Principles

Accuracy First: Ensure the translation conveys the original meaning accurately. Don't add or omit information.

Natural Japanese: Produce Japanese that sounds natural to native speakers, not word-for-word translation. Consider:

Appropriate use of particles (は、が、を、に、で、etc.)
Natural sentence structure (Japanese SOV vs Chinese SVO)
Idiomatic expressions that match the Chinese intent
Cultural context and nuance

Tone and Formality:

Default to polite form (です・ます体) for general content
Use casual form (だ・である体) for informal contexts like personal messages or casual conversation
Match the formality level of the source text
For business documents, use appropriate keigo (敬語) where needed

Proper Nouns:

Keep personal names in original Chinese characters when they're also used in Japanese
Add katakana reading for Chinese names if helpful for pronunciation
Use standard Japanese names for well-known places (北京 → 東京 for Beijing, etc.)
Keep company names and brand names as they officially appear in Japanese market

Output Format

Present translations in a clear, easy-to-review format:

For short text (1-3 sentences):

【原文】
[Original Chinese text]

【日本語訳】
[Japanese translation]

For longer text:

【原文】
[Original Chinese text - first paragraph]

【日本語訳】
[Japanese translation - first paragraph]

---

【原文】
[Original Chinese text - second paragraph]

【日本語訳】
[Japanese translation - second paragraph]

[Continue for remaining paragraphs...]

For files:

Create a new file with suffix _ja (e.g., document.txt → document_ja.txt)
Maintain the original formatting, structure, and markdown/formatting tags
Add a header comment indicating it's a translation

Special Cases

Technical Terms:

Use standard Japanese technical vocabulary where it exists (计算机 → コンピュータ)
Keep English technical terms in English when that's standard in Japanese (API, HTML, etc.)
Add explanations in parentheses for uncommon specialized terms if needed

Numbers and Units:

Keep Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) for most numbers
Use appropriate Japanese counters (個、枚、本、etc.)
Convert units if needed (市斤 → キログラム), noting the conversion

Mixed Content:

Preserve English words/phrases that appear in the Chinese text
Keep URLs, code snippets, and technical identifiers unchanged
Maintain formatting like bullet points, headings, and emphasis

Notes

If the source text quality is poor (typos, unclear meaning), note this and provide the best possible translation
If multiple interpretations are possible, choose the most likely one based on context, or ask the user for clarification
For very long texts (>500 words), consider asking if the user wants the full translation or a summary
If the user requests specific terminology or style preferences, prioritize those over the defaults
