The Problem

Anthropic Academy is one of the best free resources for learning Claude, prompt engineering, and AI safety. Millions of developers worldwide want to take these courses — but they're only available in English.

Generic translators make it worse, not better:

	Google Translate (page)	SkillBridge
AI terminology	❌ "Prompt" → "신속한" (wrong)	✅ "Prompt" → "프롬프트" (correct)
Technical accuracy	❌ Generic machine translation	✅ 570+ curated terms + AI verification
Context-aware help	❌ None	✅ AI tutor answers questions about the lesson
Video subtitles	❌ Separate manual toggle	✅ Auto-translated subtitles
UI preservation	❌ Breaks checkboxes, progress bars	✅ All interactive elements preserved
Cost	Free	Free — no API keys needed

SkillBridge exists to remove this barrier — making AI education accessible worldwide.

No API keys. No cost. Just install and learn.

Quick Start

1. Install the extension (see below)
2. Visit Anthropic Academy
3. SkillBridge translates the entire page automatically

That's it.

Features

🌐 Full Page Translation

Every text element on the page is translated, with AI-specific terms handled correctly via curated dictionaries. Progress checkboxes, icons, navigation, and CJK fonts all stay intact.

Course lesson with full curriculum translated — UI elements preserved.

🤖 AI Tutor

A sidebar chatbot powered by Claude Sonnet 4 via Puter.js. It knows which course and lesson you're on. Ask questions in your language, get streaming answers.

🎬 Auto-Subtitles

Course videos automatically activate translated subtitles when you play them — no manual toggle needed.

🌙 Dark Mode

A full dark theme for the entire Academy site — header, sidebar, lesson content, and tutor. Toggle with one click.

🎓 Exam Mode

Automatically detects certification exam pages and protects answer choices from translation. The AI Tutor also switches to exam-safe mode, refusing to help with answers directly.

⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts

Ctrl+Shift+S toggle sidebar, Ctrl+Shift+L dark mode, Ctrl+Shift+/ help overlay, Escape close, / focus chat.

🔍 Smart Detection

Detects your browser language on first visit and offers to translate. No setup needed.

🛡️ Protected Terms

Generic translation tools often mistranslate brand names and technical terms. SkillBridge auto-corrects these errors after translation:

Before (Google Translate)	After (SkillBridge)
❌ 인류학적 과정	✅ Anthropic 과정
❌ 클로드	✅ Claude
❌ 신속한 공학	✅ 프롬프트 엔지니어링

Course catalog translated to Korean — brand names and AI terms stay accurate.

How It Works

SkillBridge uses a multi-stage translation engine that prioritizes speed and accuracy:

Page text
  │
  ├─ 570+ curated term dictionary ──→ Instant (AI terms translated correctly)
  │
  ├─ Local cache (IndexedDB) ───────→ Instant (previously verified)
  │
  ├─ Has inline HTML tags? (<strong>, <a>, <code>...)
  │     └─ Yes → Gemini 2.0 Flash translates with tag preservation
  │
  └─ Plain text → Google Translate ─→ ~200ms
       │
       ├─ Protected Terms auto-fix ─→ Restores brand/tech terms GT mistranslates
       │
       └─ Complex sentence? → Gemini 2.0 Flash verifies → corrects if needed

Translation requests are sent to Google Translate and Gemini/Claude APIs via Puter.js. SkillBridge does not operate any servers — but text is transmitted to these third-party services for translation and AI features. No account or API key is required. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Privacy & Security

SkillBridge is designed with privacy first:

• No data collection — zero analytics, zero tracking, zero telemetry
• No SkillBridge servers — we do not operate any servers. Translation and AI requests are sent to third-party services (Google Translate, Puter.js → Gemini/Claude)
• No accounts required — works immediately after install
• Local storage only — translation cache (30-day TTL) and chat history are stored in your browser's IndexedDB. This data never leaves your device
• Open source — every line of code is auditable right here

Built with Claude Code. This project — from architecture design and feature implementation to debugging and the demo GIF — was developed using Claude Code as an AI pair-programming partner.

Contributing

SkillBridge is a community-driven project. The single most impactful way to contribute is improving the translation dictionary for your language — no code required, just edit a JSON file. Even fixing one bad translation helps every learner using that language.

Each language's dictionary is curated to sound natural to native speakers. We align with Anthropic's official multilingual docs as a baseline, but community conventions matter too — if Korean developers say "프롬프트" instead of "prompt", that's what we use. Disagree with a term choice? That's exactly the kind of PR we want.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full guide and Good First Issues to get started.

FAQ

Does it work on browsers other than Chrome?

Yes! SkillBridge supports Chrome, Firefox, and Edge (plus Brave, Arc, Opera, and Vivaldi). For Chrome/Edge, load the extension directly. For Firefox, run npm run build:firefox to generate a compatible build. See Installation for detailed instructions.

Do I need an API key or account?

No. SkillBridge uses Google Translate (public API) and Puter.js (free tier) for AI features. Everything works out of the box.

Why does my language show as "Standard" instead of "Premium"?

Premium languages have a hand-curated dictionary (570+ entries) that catches AI/ML term mistranslations. Standard languages rely on Google Translate + Gemini verification, which is still quite good. Want to promote your language? Contribute a dictionary — see CONTRIBUTING.md.

The translation looks wrong. How do I report it?

Open an issue with the original English text, the bad translation, and your suggested correction. Or even better — submit a PR directly to the dictionary JSON file for your language.
