Hi! I don't know Chinese, but can I contribute to this? I have formal background in CS. Thank you! |
Welcome! I think you can engage in the PR reviewing, focusing on optimizing fluency and authenticity, if you’re proficient in English. Is English your first language? |
Not really, but I'm quite proficient. |

Hello, I hope I can help. |
|
Hello, I am willing to help. |
|
Hey I'm happy to help too. |
|
@frankliuao Thanks for your interest and kind words about this book! Could you contact me via WeChat or Discord to discuss the details further? |
|
Hi Krahets (@krahets), Thank you for this awesome project. I'm happy to help too. I've been studying in the US since 2015 and I'm currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at George Mason University. My research interests include trustworthy machine learning and software security. I can assist with manual translations, proofreading, and AI translation comparison (using ChatGPT and ClaudeAI). Thank you for your time. |

Hi, @MENG2010, thanks for your interest! Welcome to join us! Could you please add my WeChat: |
|
hello! Thank for this opportunity to collaborate with you guys. I am a third-year computer science bachelor's student. Although English is not my first language, I am proficient in it. In addition, I work as a front-end developer and content writer, having written several articles for other people's blogs. I believe my skills will be useful for this project. In git hub, I also provide a leetcode-feedback. |
|
Hello 👋 Hope to join you on this project as well. I can assist with proofreading and fine-tuning text to be more in line with standard documentation. |
Hi, discord link expired again. |

Welcome @tinatsina @umer77jahangir! Do you use WeChat? If so, please add me |
|
no i did not use it. Please send a link which is not expired |
|
Hey! I don't know Chinese, but can I still contribute to this? I know English and have a good grasp of CS. |

Is there any way to keep track of the translation status? 👀 I used this script to quickly compare the number of lines in each file under the 'docs' directory for both the Chinese and English versions of the content. While line count is not an ideal metric for translation progress, it provides a rough estimate of differences between the two versions. #!/bin/bash
# Function to get file counts
get_file_counts() {
cd "$1" || exit
find . -name "*.md" -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l | sort -n
cd - > /dev/null || exit
}
# Get counts for both directories
en_counts=$(get_file_counts "./en/docs")
zh_counts=$(get_file_counts "./docs")
# Combine and format as a markdown table, showing only differences
echo "| File | ZH Lines | EN Lines | Difference |"
echo "| ---- | -------- | -------- | ---------- |"
awk '
BEGIN {FS="\n"; RS=""}
{
for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) {
split($i, a, " ")
file = a[2]
sub(/^\.\//, "", file)
if (NR == 1) {
zh_files[file] = a[1]
} else {
en_files[file] = a[1]
}
}
}
END {
for (file in zh_files) {
if (file in en_files) {
diff = zh_files[file] - en_files[file]
if (diff != 0) {
printf "| %s | %s | %s | %d |\n", file, zh_files[file], en_files[file], diff
}
} else {
printf "| %s | %s | - | %s |\n", file, zh_files[file], zh_files[file]
}
}
for (file in en_files) {
if (!(file in zh_files)) {
printf "| %s | - | %s | -%s |\n", file, en_files[file], en_files[file]
}
}
}
' <(echo "$zh_counts") <(echo "$en_counts") | sort -t '|' -k5 -n
# Print totals
zh_total=$(echo "$zh_counts" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')
en_total=$(echo "$en_counts" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')
total_diff=$((zh_total - en_total))The result of that script is a markdown table like this:
Then we can inspect by file using something like this: diff \
--width="$COLUMNS" \
--side-by-side \
--color=always \
--expand-tabs \
en/docs/chapter_array_and_linkedlist/summary.md \
docs/chapter_array_and_linkedlist/summary.md Now we can get to see were the # Summary | # 小结

From the perspective of data structures and algorithms < In my humble opinion, it makes sense to have a side-by-side translation (with an equal number of lines) because of the significant differences between 普通话 and English. By the way, excellent book! I can't wait to read the English PDF/EPUB3 ASAP! Footnotes

Hi @ofou, sorry I didn't notice your comment. The analysis is great! Indeed, synchronizing the English and Chinese versions is not an easy task. Would you like to join us? I hope we can discuss this in detail. |
|
Hey @krahets, thanks for reaching out! I'd love to contribute to this project, but I barely know basic Mandarin. However, I can help with the English version and ensure that the content is well-aligned with the original Chinese version. |
|
@ofou Welcome on board! We hope to involve native English speakers to make the English version more authentic. The task of synchronizing the Chinese and English versions will be handled by other Chinese translators. Do you use wechat? Please add me: krahets-jyd , I will invite you to the group chat. |

@krahets I added you, mine is omarnomad I'm a noob using WeChat but let's do it |
