resume-localize-cn2en

The English tech hiring market reads a resume as evidence — a recruiter scans for what you shipped and what it changed. Chinese resume conventions, from duty-line lists and demographic fields to enthusiastic self-praise, actively work against that scan. resume-localize-cn2en tackles the real problem, which is not language conversion but a mismatch in reader expectations: reshape the content for the target market first, and the translation takes care of itself.

The plugin aligns every convention to what an English tech-role reader expects. Demographic fields are removed without exception. Service-industry experience is demoted or compressed to a single line. Duty lines become quantified outcomes backed by real numbers. Flowery self-evaluations are replaced with calm, figure-backed statements. Spelling variant, date format, and layout are unified into one ATS-parsable document with Present rendered for any ongoing role. Where a number is missing from the source, the plugin never invents one — it marks a [X] placeholder and batches every open question into a single consolidated list. The final deliverable is three parts: the localized resume, a change log covering every cut and every added figure, and one question list for facts only the candidate can supply.

This plugin is built for engineers who hold a Chinese-language technical resume and are preparing to apply for roles at overseas companies or foreign-invested firms. It ships as a single SKILL.md with zero dependencies, released under the MIT license, so there is nothing to configure and nothing to manage once installed.
