dsh-translate-pro

Professional translation for DeepSeek Harness — 18 target languages, 4 writing styles, terminology control, and whole-file translation with format preservation.

✨ Why this plugin

LLMs can "sort of" translate. DSH Translate Pro gives you professional-grade translation with controls you can't get from a casual chat prompt:

Feature	What it does
🌍 18 target languages	Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Turkish, Hindi, Polish, Dutch
🎭 4 writing styles	formal / casual / technical / literal — from legal documents to daily chat
📖 Glossary control	Pin terminology: API=应用程序接口, LLM=大语言模型 — consistent terms across every translation
📄 Whole-file translation	Translate READMEs, docs, subtitles, code comments while preserving Markdown, code blocks, URLs, and paths
✍️ In-place write-back	One call translates your file and writes the result back — instant localized docs
🧠 DeepSeek engine	Powered by DeepSeek V4-Flash (fast/cheap) or V3.2 (highest quality) via SiliconFlow
🎨 Conversation cards	Side-by-side 原文/译文 cards rendered right in the chat stream

dsh-translate-pro/
├── package.json       # declares dsh.bundle

⚠️ Note

• inPlace writes require file write permissions in your dsh profile's sandbox policy.
• Translation is powered by DeepSeek models hosted on SiliconFlow — data is sent to that API.
