I found that this is not compatible with google's mdbook-i18n-helper for the time being. It still requires a lot of Hacking...

Specifically, mdbook-i18n-helper mainly uses gettext() & .po files to manage translation content. Its main purpose is to collaborate with multiple people and incrementally process modifications to the original files to be translated.

Its .po file preview is as follows:

#: src/SUMMARY.md:3
msgid "README"
msgstr "README"

#: src/SUMMARY.md:7
msgid "ZKP 新手村入门攻略"
msgstr "ZKP Newbie Village Getting Started Guide"

#: src/SUMMARY.md:11 src/zkp-intro/toc.md:3
msgid "探索零知识证明系列"
msgstr "Explore the zero-knowledge proof series"

#: src/SUMMARY.md:12
msgid "（一）初识「零知识」与「证明」"
msgstr "(1) First introduction to \"zero knowledge\" and \"proof\""

#: src/SUMMARY.md:13
msgid "（二）理解「模拟」"
msgstr "(2) Understanding “simulation”"

#: src/SUMMARY.md:14
msgid "（三）寻找「知识」"
msgstr "(3) Looking for “knowledge”"

#: src/SUMMARY.md:15
msgid "（四）随机「挑战」"
msgstr "(4) Random \"Challenge\""

#: src/SUMMARY.md:16
msgid "（五）埋藏「秘密」"
msgstr "(5) Burying “secrets”"

#: src/SUMMARY.md:20
msgid "理解Plonk系列"
msgstr "Understanding the Plonk Series"

You can see that the gettext and .po file design pattern eliminates the need for additional .md files under the /en directory with the same name. Instead, all translations are managed within the .po files.

Each time we perform a Build & Deploy, the system automatically searches for matches and generates the corresponding content in the /en directory based on the .po files.

I'm thinking that in the coming week (perhaps by the weekend), it would be best to first experiment with auxiliary translation repositories using the gettext and .po file design pattern:

• potr
• po-translation-ChatGPT
• chatgpt-po-i18-translator

If these repositories don't work as expected or if the results aren't satisfactory, then we can consider making adjustments based on the 'About i18' approach. It might require some additional frontend hackings. 🤣

po-translation-ChatGPT Basicly can't run

The issue-based communication pattern is excellent !!

• It allows us to use rich text for displaying Markdown.
• It is topic-centric, based on the issue's title.
• Every individual can participate in, and the discussion history will be preserved.

WeChat is all the exact opposite, that's why I hate it.
