🇨🇳 Chinese (zh-CN) Localization

Localize agent name and description fields in YAML frontmatter to Simplified Chinese. This makes agent names readable in Copilot Chat's agent picker for Chinese-speaking users.

Files

File	Description
agent-names-zh.json	Mapping of English agent names → Chinese translations (130+ entries)
localize-agents-zh.ps1	PowerShell script that reads the JSON and updates installed agent files

Usage

After installing agents with install.sh --tool copilot:

# Localize agent names to Chinese
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/i18n/localize-agents-zh.ps1

By default, the script processes:

• %USERPROFILE%\.github\agents\
• %USERPROFILE%\.copilot\agents\

Pass custom paths if needed:

powershell -File scripts/i18n/localize-agents-zh.ps1 -TargetDirs @("C:\custom\path\agents")

How It Works

1. Reads agent-names-zh.json (UTF-8 encoded) for the translation map
2. For each .md file in the target directories:
   • Extracts the name: field from YAML frontmatter
   • Looks up the Chinese translation
   • Replaces name: and description: fields
   • Writes back as UTF-8

Result

Before:

---
name: Security Engineer
description: Threat modeling, secure code review, security architecture
---

After:

---
name: 安全工程师
description: 威胁建模、安全代码审查与应用安全架构专家
---

Notes

• Only modifies installed copies (in ~/.github/agents/), not source files
• Re-run after each install.sh update (which overwrites with English originals)
• JSON file is the single source of truth for translations — add new agents there
• Script is pure ASCII (avoids PowerShell encoding issues); all Chinese text lives in the JSON
