CodeWhale 是个大项目，有海量的文档。虽然后期借助了 LLM 来翻译，但翻译那些文档进中文已经耗费了我太多的心神。后期英文文档更新，中文文档应当一起同步。然而，AI翻译的技术文档质量，大家懂得都懂——只停留在“能读”，至于看着费不费劲，那是另一码事。
不只是我们 CodeWhale，其他许多开源项目也面临着这样的困境。我希望能够牵头成立一个小型的汉化组，用爱发电，去汉化、跟进开源的英文项目或日文项目，让更多的简中网友能了解到这些它们。不仅让这些优秀的项目免于雪藏，也降低了许多项目的使用门槛。
如果有意愿加入此组的，请在此 Issue 下留言。如果人齐，到时候我会建立一个 QQ 群，把大家都拉进去。到时候我们一起合作，打通语言壁垒。
肯定会有人觉得这没必要。但我觉得千里之行始于足下，或者说不积小流无以成江海。
现在，大部分文本都是AIGC——我这不是在怪罪 Hmbown 兄弟，他已经很尽力了，换作我，我肯定连i18n都没想到，但他竟然同时维护这么多语言。我觉得我们这样做，也是为 Hmbown 和像他一样的人减轻一部分负担。
语言的壁垒是真实存在的，我听说很多外国人看中国汉字都看得头昏，可能 Hmbown 老兄也觉得我们汉语的方块字有点难懂。既然如此，我们就成立一个志愿的汉化组吧！就让我们来帮他点忙，也相当于是分工协作了；同时也帮 CodeWhale 这条大鲸鱼游得更远！
欢迎所有想要给 Codewhale 贡献、但是却觉得无从下手的人——路就在这里！
开源万岁，协作万岁，共享万岁，知识万岁！
如有意愿，请添加我的QQ号：2163018547（彁）并注明来意。
CodeWhale is a large project with a huge amount of documentation. Although we later used LLMs to help translate it, translating those documents into Chinese still cost me far too much time and energy. Going forward, when the English docs are updated, the Chinese docs should be synced as well. However, everyone knows the quality of AI-translated technical documentation—it only reaches the level of “readable.” Whether it’s actually easy to read is another matter entirely.
It’s not just CodeWhale. Many other open-source projects face the same predicament. I hope to take the lead in forming a small Chinese localization group, powered by love rather than money, to translate and keep up with open-source English or Japanese projects, so that more Simplified Chinese-speaking users can learn about them. This would not only keep these excellent projects from being buried and forgotten, but also lower the barrier to entry for many of them.
If you’re interested in joining this group, please leave a comment under this issue. I’ll then create a QQ group and invite everyone in. Together, we can work to break down language barriers.
Some people will definitely think this is unnecessary. But I believe that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step—or, as the saying goes, without accumulating small streams, one cannot form rivers and seas.
Right now, most of the text is AIGC—I’m not blaming our friend Hmbown for this. He’s already trying his best. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have even thought of i18n, yet he’s actually maintaining so many languages at the same time. I think by doing this, we’re also easing some of the burden for Hmbown and people like him.
Language barriers are real. I've heard that many foreigners get dizzy just looking at Chinese characters, and maybe our friend Hmbown also finds our Chinese square characters a bit hard to understand. In that case, let's form a volunteer Chinese localization group! Let's give him a hand—it would essentially be division of labor and collaboration—and at the same time help CodeWhale the big whale swim even further!
Everyone who wants to contribute to CodeWhale but feels at a loss about where to start is welcome—the path is right here!
Long live open-source! Long live collaboration! Long live sharing! Long live knowledge!
