[Translation] Chinese

[wongzigii]

Hi, all members from SwiftWeekly,

Just as NSHipster.com to NSHipster.cn, objc.io to objccn.io, I would like to bring swiftweekly.github.io to Chinese' Swift developers, for tracking the news of the Swift community.

In the beginning, I've tried to create a PR to make this website to be multilingual. And I came accross github/pages-gem#401 , it seems like GitHub page does't have an official i18n Jekyll plugin to make it works so far :(.

So I created a new organization just likes objccn, called swiftweeklycn, and I am going to translate the latest issue every other Thursdays and deploy it to github-page.

FYI The latest issue has already done and deployed .

Let me know what you think.

Thanks @wongzigii ! Seems like a really valuable resource for that community.

A few notes:

• Can you remove the "Subscribe" and "Sponsor" buttons and pages? (To avoid confusion with the proper newletter subscriptions and sponsors.)
• It looks like the footer links are broken (twitter, github, rss, etc.)

@BasThomas We should definitely share this in the next issue 😊

Will fix it ASAP, no worries.

Hey @wongzigii

Where is the swiftweeklycn repo hosted? Would you like to move it under the SwiftWeekly GitHub organization? I think that would be great and a better way to keeps things organized. 😄

cc @BasThomas Thoughts?

[BasThomas]

Hi @wongzigii!

This is awesome! I think it would indeed be a good idea to move that version to this organization as well.

@jessesquires: it is now hosted here.

[jessesquires]

@BasThomas Ah I see.

Hm.... actually. It might be tricky to get everything to work with GH pages. Maybe not.

Looks like we could activate GH-pages for the master branch.

Then the site would appear at: https://swiftweekly.github.io/swiftweeklycn/

[wongzigii]

Definitely a good idea.

Maybe https://swiftweekly.github.io/cn/ would be shorter and clearer? So I am going to transfer the repo to this organization and rename the repo name to cn. Additionally, I will drop that organization.

A few notes:

1. I currently using https://github.com/swiftweeklycn/_posts to separate all posts as a git-submodule to keep it simple. Should I also transfer that repo too?

2. I've adjusted some font/font-size for better rendering in Chinese.

[wongzigii]

You don’t have the permission to create repositories on SwiftWeekly

Seems like I don't have permission while doing the transfermation.

[jessesquires]

Hey @wongzigii ! I'll help with this now

[jessesquires]

@wongzigii Ok -- I just sent you an invite to the org. Once you accept, you should be able to transfer the repo. :)

If you can't -- it's probably because we need to fix some permissions. Let me know 😄

Sounds great! 👍

1. I currently using https://github.com/swiftweeklycn/_posts to separate all posts as a git-submodule to keep it simple. Should I also transfer that repo too?

Hm. I'm not sure. I don't think we'll need this once we move the main repo to the org. Here's what I'm thinking:

1. We transfer the cn repo under swiftweekly.
2. This repo is essentially just a copy of the main repo

Our publishing flow would be:

1. We publish a new issue on the main, english site
2. You can copy the new post date-issue-##.md to cn/_posts
3. Translate the post and push

It's a bit manual, I guess (copying the new post), but doesn't seem too bad. This way you can just translate the post in-line. What do you think?

OR -- maybe there's a way to do everything within the main swiftweekly.github.io repo and jekyll?

2. I've adjusted some font/font-size for better rendering in Chinese.

Sounds good to me. 👌

[wongzigii]

@jessesquires Done! BTW, I can't access to the cn settings panel.

Can you remove the "Subscribe" and "Sponsor" buttons and pages? (To avoid confusion with the proper newletter subscriptions and sponsors.)

Should we bring back the sponsor and subscribe and point to the original link, cause the cn is now the subpage of main. (maybe not? I am not sure)

[jessesquires]

hey @wongzigii / @BasThomas

I just setup some new teams / permissions for the org.

@wongzigii -- you should be an admin on cn now.

[jessesquires]

Now that we've got the main pieces in place. Let's close this out and continue the discussion at SwiftWeekly/cn#1
