CLI Reference¶

Co-op Translator installerer disse kommandolinjeindgangspunkter:

translate
evaluate
migrate-links
co-op-review
co-op-translator-mcp

The translate, evaluate, migrate-links, and co-op-review commands dispatch through co_op_translator.__main__, which selects the command implementation based on the invoked script name. The MCP server uses co_op_translator.mcp.server directly.

If you are deciding between CLI, Python API, and MCP, start with Choose Your Workflow.

First-Time CLI Flow¶

Start her, hvis du bruger Co-op Translator fra en terminal:

Configure an LLM provider as described in Configuration.
Choose the content type you want to translate.
Run a focused command first, such as Markdown-only translation.
Use --dry-run before large repository changes.
Use co-op-review after translation to check structure and freshness.

Mål	Kommando til at starte med
Translate Markdown documents	`translate -l "ko" -md`
Translate notebooks	`translate -l "ko" -nb`
Translate image text	`translate -l "ko" -img`
Preview work without writing files	`translate -l "ko" -md --dry-run`
Review existing translations	`co-op-review -l "ko"`
Update notebook and Markdown links	`migrate-links -l "ko" --dry-run`
Expose tools to an MCP client	Configure the MCP Server instead of running CLI commands directly.

translate¶

Translate Markdown files, notebooks, and image text into one or more target languages.

translate -l "ko ja fr"

Common examples¶

Translate only Markdown:

translate -l "de" -md

Translate only notebooks:

translate -l "zh-CN" -nb

Translate Markdown and images:

translate -l "pt-BR" -md -img

Update existing translations by deleting and recreating them:

translate -l "ko" -u

Run without interactive prompts:

translate -l "ko ja" -md -y

Save logs:

translate -l "ko" -s

If no type flag is provided, translate processes Markdown, notebooks, and images. Image translation requires Azure AI Vision configuration.

evaluate¶

Evaluate translated Markdown quality for one language.

Eksperimentel

evaluate is experimental. It can use rule-based and LLM-based quality checks, writes evaluation results into translation metadata, and its scoring model and metadata behavior may change.

evaluate -l "ko"

Common examples¶

Use a stricter low-confidence threshold:

evaluate -l "es" -c 0.8

Run rule-based checks only:

evaluate -l "fr" -f

Run LLM-based checks only:

evaluate -l "ja" -D

Indstillinger¶

Option	Påkrævet	Beskrivelse
`-l`, `--language-code`	Ja	Single language code to evaluate. Alias codes are normalized.
`-r`, `--root-dir`	Nej	Project root. Defaults to the current directory.
`-c`, `--min-confidence`	Nej	Threshold used when listing low-confidence translations. Defaults to `0.7`.
`-d`, `--debug`	Nej	Enable debug logging.
`-s`, `--save-logs`	Nej	Save DEBUG-level logs under `<root-dir>/logs/`.
`-f`, `--fast`	Nej	Rule-based evaluation only.
`-D`, `--deep`	Nej	LLM-based evaluation only.

By default, evaluate uses both rule-based and LLM-based evaluation. Results are written into translation metadata and summarized in the console.

co-op-review¶

Run deterministic translation maintenance checks without API credentials.

Beta

co-op-review is a beta deterministic review command. It does not call model providers or write files, but its checks and issue output schema may evolve.

co-op-review -l "ko"

Common examples¶

Review Korean and Japanese translations from the current directory:

co-op-review -l "ko ja"

Review a specific project root:

co-op-review -l "fr" -r ./my-course

Review only source files changed against a base ref:

co-op-review -l "ko" --changed-from origin/main

Print GitHub-flavored Markdown output for CI summaries:

co-op-review -l "ko ja" --changed-from origin/main --format github

Indstillinger¶

Option	Påkrævet	Beskrivelse
`-l`, `--language-code`	Nej	Language code to review. Can be passed multiple times or as a space-separated value. Defaults to all discovered translation languages.
`-r`, `--root-dir`	Nej	Project root. Defaults to the current directory.
`--changed-from`	Nej	Git ref used to limit review to changed source files.
`--format`	Nej	Output format: `text` or `github`. Defaults to `text`.

co-op-review currently checks for missing translated files, missing or stale translation metadata, Markdown frontmatter and code fence integrity, invalid translated notebook JSON, and missing local Markdown or image link targets. Missing links are warnings by default; structural and freshness problems fail the command.

co-op-translator-mcp¶

Run the Co-op Translator MCP server for agents, editors, and MCP-compatible clients.

co-op-translator-mcp

The default transport is stdio. See the MCP Server guide for client configuration, tools, resources, and safety notes.

Indstillinger¶

Option	Påkrævet	Beskrivelse
`--transport`	Nej	MCP transport: `stdio`, `streamable-http`, or `sse`. Defaults to `stdio`.

migrate-links¶

Reprocess translated Markdown files and update notebook links so they point to translated notebooks when available.

migrate-links -l "ko ja"

Common examples¶

Preview link updates:

migrate-links -l "ko" --dry-run

Process all supported languages without confirmation:

migrate-links -l "all" -y

Only rewrite links when translated notebooks exist:

migrate-links -l "ko" --no-fallback-to-original

Indstillinger¶

Option	Påkrævet	Beskrivelse
`-l`, `--language-codes`	Ja	Space-separated language codes, or `"all"`.
`-r`, `--root-dir`	Nej	Project root. Defaults to the current directory.
`--image-dir`	Nej	Translated image directory relative to the root. Defaults to `translated_images`.
`--dry-run`	Nej	Show files that would change without writing updates.
`--fallback-to-original`, `--no-fallback-to-original`	Nej	Use original notebook links when translated notebooks are missing. Enabled by default.
`-d`, `--debug`	Nej	Enable debug logging.
`-s`, `--save-logs`	Nej	Save DEBUG-level logs under `<root-dir>/logs/`.
`-y`, `--yes`	Nej	Auto-confirm prompts when processing all languages.

Environment¶

All commands require one configured LLM provider:

# Azure OpenAI
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://<resource>.openai.azure.com/"
AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4o"
AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="<deployment>"
AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION="2024-12-01-preview"

# Eller OpenAI
OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL_ID="gpt-4o"

Image translation additionally requires Azure AI Vision:

AZURE_AI_SERVICE_API_KEY="..."
AZURE_AI_SERVICE_ENDPOINT="https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/"

Output layout¶

Text translations are written under:

translations/<language-code>/<original-path>

Translated image output is written under:

translated_images/<language-code>/<original-path>

For example, translating README.md and docs/setup.md into Korean produces:

translations/ko/README.md
translations/ko/docs/setup.md

Copy-Paste CLI Examples¶

Translate Markdown into three languages:

translate -l "ko ja fr" -md

Translate notebooks only:

translate -l "zh-CN" -nb

Translate images only:

translate -l "pt-BR" -img

Preview Markdown translation without writing files:

translate -l "de es" -md --dry-run
