Academic Translator

Academic Writing

Expert academic translator for research papers, supporting Chinese-English bidirectional translation and Chinese formal rewriting.

Overview

This skill handles all academic translation needs between Chinese and English. It includes three protocols: Chinese-to-English translation for conference paper submission (LaTeX output), English-to-Chinese translation for paper comprehension, and Chinese-to-Chinese formal rewriting for Word-based journal submissions.

When to Use

• Translating Chinese research drafts into English LaTeX for top conference submission (ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS)
• Translating English LaTeX paper sections into Chinese for quick comprehension
• Rewriting informal Chinese notes or bullet points into formal Chinese academic prose for Word-based journals

Key Features

• 3 translation protocols: ZH-to-EN (LaTeX), EN-to-ZH (reading), ZH-to-ZH (Word journal rewriting)
• LaTeX-aware: Preserves math formulas, escapes special characters, handles \cite{} and \ref{} commands
• Conference-grade output: Follows tense conventions, avoids AI-flavor words, uses coherent paragraph structure (no \item lists)
• Self-review protocol: Built-in reviewer-perspective check before final output
• Dual-part output: Always provides both the translated text and a verification translation for cross-checking
