[Feature Request] Add Chinese (Simplified) Documentation Translation

[YangYuS8]

Description

Hi team! Would you consider adding Simplified Chinese documentation? This could help many Chinese-speaking users understand HomePage better.

Why:
• 1.1B+ native Chinese speakers
• Lower barriers for Chinese developers
• I can help translate!

Let me know if this makes sense. 谢谢！

Thanks but we do not provide documentation in any other languages, Im not all that interested in opening this can of worms. Its not like we can provide any kind of support in Chinese anyway...

For better or worse, English seems to be the accepted standard for FOSS (see: programming languages) so I think we'll keep the GitHub repo and docs as-is. Translating the project itself of course is something we definitely want to encourage.

Thanks

Hi shamoon,

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to clarify the project's position. We completely understand the complexities of maintaining multilingual documentation and the team's considerations regarding resource allocation. The predominance of English in FOSS ecosystems is indeed a pragmatic reality.

While official localization isn't currently feasible, I plan to undertake some translation efforts independently as a community contributor. These will be clearly marked as unofficial, community-driven adaptations to avoid confusion. Should the project's internationalization strategy evolve in the future, I'd be happy to discuss potential collaboration.

Your commitment to open-source principles is commendable, and I'm certain this approach will continue serving the project well. Wishing the initiative ongoing success in the global developer community.

Best regards,
YangYuS8
