Localization Brief Skill

Localization is not translation — it's making a product feel native in a market, which touches formats, imagery, payment methods, legal norms, and cultural expectations far beyond the strings. This skill plans it: what to translate, what to adapt, what to rebuild for the locale, in priority order, with the cultural and regulatory pitfalls that sink naïve "just translate the UI" launches.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The product/content and the target locale(s) (language + region — fr-FR vs fr-CA matters).
• What it is — SaaS UI, marketing site, app, docs, campaign — sets what needs adapting.
• Goal & depth — testing a market (light) vs. full local presence (deep).
• Known constraints — budget, what's already internationalized (i18n-ready or not).

Output Format

Localization Brief: [product] → [locale(s)]
