Excel Translator Skill

Overview

This skill translates the text content of an Excel file (.xlsx) from English to Chinese using openpyxl. The Chinese translation is placed directly below the original English text in the same cell, separated by a newline — no new rows or columns are inserted. Original formatting (merged cells, fonts, colors, images) is preserved.

Workflow

1. Identify the input .xlsx file path from the user.
2. Run scripts/translate.py from the shell.
3. Deliver the output file to the user as an attachment.

Running the Script

python3.11 /home/ubuntu/skills/excel-translator/scripts/translate.py "/path/to/input.xlsx"

The output file is saved automatically with a _translated suffix in the same directory.

Custom output path:

python3.11 /home/ubuntu/skills/excel-translator/scripts/translate.py "/path/to/input.xlsx" -o "/path/to/output.xlsx"

Environment Variables

The script reads API credentials from environment variables. These are pre-configured in the Manus sandbox:

• OPENAI_API_KEY — API key for the translation model.
• OPENAI_BASE_URL — Base URL for the API endpoint (defaults to https://api.openai.com/v1).

Bundled Resources

• scripts/translate.py — Core translation script. Scans all sheets, translates English text cells concurrently via OpenAI API, writes "English\nChinese" back into the same cell with wrap_text=True, and saves the result.

这个 Skill 质量中等偏上，做到了开箱即用、文档清晰。它能较好地完成 Excel 英译中任务，保留原文件格式，处理速度快。优点是使用简单、一次翻译整个工作簿；不足是功能单一，只能英译中，无法选择其他语言或翻译模型，且如果遇到翻译失败的单元格不会给出明确提示。对于有特定翻译需求的场景可能需要寻找更灵活的替代方案。
