agent timed out translating a bilingual demo call summary for pipeline review

TL;DR

Translate the finished summary instead of the full transcript, split it by section if it is long, cache each translated section, and assemble the pipeline review version from those sections so a slow section cannot stall the whole job. Start with the bilingual demo transcript, the translation step in the run log, and the point where the run timed out, work on one affected call, record, or run first, and prove the fix there before running the full set. Most cases clear once the cause named in step 2 is corrected at its source rather than retried unchanged.

Use this when

• You see this exact message or symptom: agent timed out translating a bilingual demo call summary for pipeline review
• One run, record, call, or object is affected and you can name it
• A retry without changing anything reproduces the same result

Not for this skill when

• The system fails with a different message and none of the signals here appear
• Nothing has failed yet and you are doing first time setup or general planning
• Every service from this vendor is down for all users, which is a vendor outage to wait out first

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure once using the bilingual demo transcript, the translation step in the run log, and the point where the run timed out, and record the time, the workspace or account, and the one item it names. Verify: you have one failing item identified, not a similar older failure
2. Inspect whether the agent translated raw transcript or summary, the size of that input, and which sections finished. Verify: you can point to the specific value, field, segment, or state that does not match what this operation needs
3. Apply the fix at that source: translate the finished summary instead of the full transcript, split it by section if it is long, cache each translated section, and assemble the pipeline review version from those sections so a slow section cannot stall the whole job. Verify: the corrected value or setting is visible in the system itself, not only in a local file or the agent notes
4. Re-run the original operation on the single affected item first. Verify: that one item completes with no trace of the failure described above, and the pipeline review receives a complete translated summary including its final section
5. Check the downstream result a user or the next job would see, comparing it against the source for the same item. Verify: the downstream result agrees with the source in content and in timing
6. Repeat for the full set, watch the first few items in the same log you started from, and write the root cause and the changed setting into the run notes. Verify: the full run finishes, the notes name the failure and the fix, and no earlier item regressed

Variant phrasings

agent timed out translating a bilingual demo call summary for pipeline review

The subject-first phrasing of the same failure. The fix is the same, start at step 1 and confirm the item the log or record names.

Tool-first phrasing of this failure

The phrasing searchers use once they know which system raised it. It is the same underlying problem, not a separate bug.

Why does this keep happening after a retry

The repeat-occurrence phrasing. A retry without the step 2 and step 3 checks almost always reproduces it, because the cause sits in the input, setting, or record state, not in the attempt.

Compatibility: Agent translation of call summaries, at current versions

Why it happens

Translating a full bilingual transcript is far larger than translating its summary, and a single slow pass over that input exceeds the step budget before any output is saved.
