Follow these steps to translate a PDF file:

Identify the PDF File: Confirm the path to the PDF file the user wants to translate. If the path is relative, resolve it to an absolute path.
Extract Text: Use the
```
extract_text.py
```
script located in the
```
scripts
```
directory of this skill to extract text from the PDF.
- Command:
```
python3 skills/pdf-translator/scripts/extract_text.py <path_to_pdf>
```
- Note: Ensure you are using the correct python environment (e.g.,
```
.venv/bin/python
```
  if applicable, or just
```
python3
```
  if dependencies are installed globally).
Translate Content:
- Read the output from the extraction step.
- Translate the extracted text into the target language requested by the user (default to the user's primary language or English if ambiguous).
- Maintain the original structure (headings, paragraphs) as much as possible using Markdown formatting.
Save Output:
- Create a new Markdown file with the translated content.
- Filename format:
```
<original_filename>_translated.md
```
  .
- Notify the user of the output file location.
