PDF Master Translator (V10 Architecture)

This skill provides a battle-tested, "bulletproof" pipeline for translating complex PDF documents. It was forged from extensive trial and error on NASA engineering specifications.

Do NOT attempt to use simple OCR or zero-shot LLM translation for complex engineering documents. They will fail. Use the translator_engine_v10.py script provided in this skill.

Core Capabilities & The V10 Pipeline

This skill relies on a Python script (scripts/translator_engine_v10.py) that implements a specific, multi-agent workflow:

1. Layout & Physical Isolation (Masking):
   • Never ask an LLM to "ignore the picture and translate the text" on a messy scan.
   • The pipeline first detects figures and tables.
   • It physically whites out (masks) these regions on a temporary image.
   • The "clean" image is sent for translation, eliminating visual hallucinations.
   • Original figures are extracted, converted to Base64, and safely appended to the final HTML/PDF.
