Imagine it was the other way around: you forked some code documented in Mandarin. Are you able to translate your contribution into Mandarin before submitting it back?<p>Did you know that there are more people in the world with Mandarin as a first langauge, than with English as a first language?<p>Here&#x27;s a good new thing to learn: Google Translate! ;) — Seriously though: I found it very useful when using &quot;Ant Design of React&quot; in a recent project (a great UI library which is primarily documented in Chinese (or a dialect of), although also -partly- translated into English).<p>In most cases it&#x27;s really not a big deal. Personally, I&#x27;ll use libraries documented in any language, providing the code is fit for purpose, and the docs give me enough information (translated or not).

So that more people can read it? I mean, they could have used some other dialect of Chinese, but Mandarin seems to be the safest bet.

Because it&#x27;s the most spoken language in the world?
