fxtwitter-translate

Fetch and translate Twitter/X tweets to Chinese. Uses the public fxtwitter API to get JSON content, extracts text, formats and translates it to clean Chinese markdown.

Workflow

  1. Extract tweet ID from URL:

    • https://x.com/:username/status/:tweetId → extract tweetId
    • https://twitter.com/:username/status/:tweetId → extract tweetId
    • https://fxtwitter.com/:username/status/:tweetId → extract tweetId
    • https://api.fxtwitter.com/:username/status/:tweetId → already API format
  2. Convert to fxtwitter API URL:

    https://api.fxtwitter.com/:username/status/:tweetId
    
  3. GET request to fetch JSON

  4. Extract content:

    • Get tweet.text from JSON response
    • If it's a long tweet with multiple cards, concatenate all text content
    • Strip any extra HTML/formatting
  5. Format and Translate:

    • Preserve original structure (headings, lists, paragraphs)
    • Translate to natural-sounding Simplified Chinese
    • Keep any URLs intact, credit the original author
    • Output as clean markdown

Example

User input:

翻译:https://x.com/invideoOfficial/status/2033866107166318666

Notes

  • This skill only handles single tweets/threads, not quoted retweets (can extract the main tweet content)
  • Images/video are not fetched, only text content
  • Always credit original author and link at the end
  • Keep the original structure (headings, lists, paragraphs) intact in translation
