Run the Caiyun AI Translate MCP Server in VS Code

The `translate_text` tool lets you translate strings and text blocks directly inside your Copilot Chat panel. By adding this MCP Server to your team's shared `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every developer gets instant access. No individual setup is required once it is committed to your repository. Your agent uses `translate_to_zh` or `translate_to_en` to assist developers working across global teams. It processes code comments, documentation, and commit messages without leaving the editor. This keeps your team aligned on code standards.

Process batch translations in your repository

The `translate_multiple_lines` tool handles bulk text processing for localization pipelines. When you need to translate entire folders of markdown files or JSON locales, your agent batches the requests. This reduces network overhead and speeds up your build checks. For specific language pairs, the agent invokes `translate_zh_to_en` or `translate_en_to_zh` directly. It writes the translated files back to your workspace automatically. This makes managing multi-language documentation simple.

Detect and translate terminal error messages

The `detect_language_via_auto` tool analyzes text from your terminal or build logs to find its source language. If a third-party package throws a localized error, your agent identifies the language instantly. It then selects the right tool to translate it. The agent also uses `check_caiyun_status` to verify connection health before starting long translation runs. This ensures your automated localization scripts do not fail midway due to network drops. It keeps your CI/CD pipelines predictable.
