When I check GitHub trending repositories [0] I often see popular projects that are not translated in English. More often they are in Chinese.<p>I'd like to learn what are these projects about and how can I use or support them - but I can't.<p>What do you feel about it?
Should we encourage developers to translate?<p>[0] https://github.com/trending
I feel glad that I've been learning enough Chinese to understand that most of those projects aren't actually all that relevant. (But I think you could get the gist of those just using Google Translate, no need to learn a new language.)<p>monkeyWie/proxyee-down is a tool to sniff HTTP downloads via a proxy. Admittedly, I'm not completely sure why someone would need to do that.<p>xitu/tensorflow-docs is a Chinese translation of the TensorFlow documentation.<p>CyC2018/Interview-Notebook contains tips for interview preparation.<p>1c7/chinese-independent-developer is a way for Chinese indie developers to show off what projects they are working on. (This one even has an English translation.)<p>HFO4/plus1s.live is a project to stream movies as ASCII art over HTTP. Pretty cool actually.<p>And that's it for the Chinese projects I can currently see on the trending page.<p>Personally, I think that most projects that would be useful to an international audience will also make an effort to have English comments and documentation. Developers all over the world speak at least some rudimentary English and are well aware that they need to use it if they want to attract more contributors. I'm not a native English speaker either.
