Chinese Translation

[ZhiyuanChen]

Hi, I am Zhiyuan, currently doing BIT at the ANU. I'd like to translate all the docs to Chinese. Is there anything I need to know?

I'd like to offer some help if you initialize the project. And feel free to ping me when you're doing this.

If things go well, there'll be some big changes on docs to improve the quality of docs this summer my GSoC project

@timholy would you mind I setting up the Chinese version documentation here in this repo?

I didn't try it yet, but I guess it can be https://juliaimages.org/en/stable/ by default, and https://juliaimages.org/zh-cn/stable/ for the Chinese. I might need to do some code reorganization for this purpose, too.

I don't know what's involved myself, but out of principle I'm extremely enthusiastic about having our documentation available in multiple languages. The only thing that scares me is keeping them all updated with one another. I am planning a major rewrite at some point, though the funding to help support that has not yet materialized.

The only thing that scares me is keeping them all updated with one another.

I have the same concern, and it's very likely that only the English version is "officially" maintained; that's why I asked if this looks appropriate to you. My best solution is to retrieve a "last modified date" for each page from the git commit history and hope people can realize how up-to-date it is.

Function references will still keep its English version at this time as the current tooling doesn't support this.

I recently found that there are people in the Chinese community being interested in JuliaImages, so I want to scratch a framework for the Chinese version that people can follow and contribute to.

For example, https://blog.csdn.net/qq_28368377/article/details/105956983 is the Chinese translation of https://juliaimages.org/latest/pkgs/
