## Description

Translate video subtitles with topic context, terminology, faithful review and language-aware subtitle length constraints, then save a complete timed language track. Use for subtitle translation or the translation stage of video localization.

# Subtitle translation

Produce a complete saved subtitle track using the adapted VideoLingo prompts bundled with this skill. This skill owns translation, including when invoked by `video-localization`. Use VidBee's existing tools and isolated tasks in this Agent runtime; do not install or run VideoLingo, Python or another provider client.

For long transcripts, discover `delegate_task` with `tool_search` when available and assign bounded translation, review or alignment work in independent contexts. Pass the exact stage, source cue indices/text/times, neighboring lines, relevant glossary, constraints and validated prior result. Include `skills: ["translate"]` and `tools: ["read"]` so the worker can use these reference prompts. The parent retains overall coverage and decides what to save. Workers return the assigned stage result and exceptions, not a claim that the whole video is complete. Use `read_task_result` to recover a full worker result when its initial response is paginated; omit its ID to find saved tasks after interruption, inspect their status and use `resume_task` for unfinished work. Workers do not inherit parent messages or notes; preserve shared terminology and progress explicitly in the parent checkpoint.

## Load and bind the actual prompts

Find this installed skill's directory through the available skill catalog. Use native `read` to load each reference below before performing that stage. Relative paths are inside this skill, not the current working directory. These files contain the upstream roles, tasks, principles and result formats; apply their full instructions, not just this workflow summary.
