About this skill
Problem
Translating academic papers is not only a grammar issue. The harder part is keeping terminology stable and making the register sound academic. A concept may be rendered as model in one sentence and method in another; wording also differs across computer science, medicine, and economics. Literal translation can read fluently but still miss field-specific conventions.
How It Works
The skill is organized around three inputs: text, direction, and domain. It first determines whether the task is zh2en or en2zh, then applies a built-in academic terminology table for the selected domain, keeps key terms consistent, and finally polishes the writing toward an academic tone. zh2en is useful for turning a Chinese draft into English phrasing; en2zh is useful for converting English material into expressions closer to Chinese academic style.
Boundaries
It is best for prose sections such as abstracts, methods, and discussion, where terminology mapping and bidirectional polishing matter most. If the input includes equations, figure captions, citation formats, or institution-specific templates, manual checks for formatting and citation style are still recommended.
Use Cases
- CS graduate translates a Chinese methods draft into English with stable key terms
- Medical writer translates an English case abstract into Chinese professional wording
- Economics author polishes a discussion section into more academic English
- Cross-domain writer selects general mode to align terminology in an abstract
Best For
- CS graduate who needs academic English translation of a methods section with consistent terms
