Headless translation via Claude Code
Pipe text into `translate_to_zh` using command-line arguments. It translates your output in a terminal session without opening a browser. This is ideal for build scripts. You can automate your documentation translation during the CI process.
Fast language detection in the terminal
Use `detect_language_via_auto` to identify source languages in your logs or text files. It returns the language code immediately. This allows your scripts to decide which translation path to take automatically. You control the logic without writing complex regex.
Monitor translation service health
Run `check_caiyun_status` as a pre-flight check in your shell script. It returns a simple status code to indicate readiness. If the server isn't responding, your script can fail gracefully. It keeps your automation pipeline predictable.
