What this skill does

VS Code extension localization

This skill helps you localize every aspect of VS Code extensions

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

Localize new or existing contributed configurations (settings), commands, menus, views or walkthroughs
Localize new or existing messages or other string resources contained in extension source code that are displayed to the end user

Instructions

VS Code localization is composed by three different approaches, depending on the resource that is being localized. When a new localizable resource is created or updated, the corresponding localization for all currently available languages must be created/updated.

Configurations like Settings, Commands, Menus, Views, ViewsWelcome, Walkthrough Titles and Descriptions, defined in package.json -> An exclusive package.nls.LANGID.json file, like package.nls.pt-br.json of Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br) localization
Walkthrough content (defined in its own Markdown files) -> An exclusive Markdown file like walkthrough/someStep.pt-br.md for Brazilian Portuguese localization
Messages and string located in extension source code (JavaScript or TypeScript files) -> An exclusive bundle.l10n.pt-br.json for Brazilian Portuguese localization

Installation

Copy a source-pinned command for your client. You run it yourself.

Destination: .claude/skills/vscode-ext-localization · pinned to the source commit

# Run from your project root
git clone https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot.git .skillboard-tmp
git -C .skillboard-tmp checkout f11a4e441c5ff061b4f8ae37952be8c602e4034e
mkdir -p ".claude/skills"
cp -r ".skillboard-tmp/skills/vscode-ext-localization" ".claude/skills/"
rm -rf .skillboard-tmp

Review the source before running. This copies files into your project; it is not a one-click install and does not verify runtime safety.
