[PROPOSAL] Create a Chinese (Q&A) category in GitHub Discussions forum
Hi,
I see a continuously increasing trend of users asking questions on our
GitHub Discussions forum[1].
Since a significant portion of our users come from China, and they are more
expressive when discussing in Chinese, I suggest we create a Chinese
category for Q&A only, which is expected to work as user-zh@pulsar.a.o but
on the GitHub Discussions forum for being user-friendly.
What do you think?
Best,
tison.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to edit the user's question. we can add a translated comment after question.
Best,
Mattison

Hi -
I have several thoughts about this.
1\. I know that Ted Liu was working with some developers on a Chatbot a few
years ago.
2\. Has this issue been discussed in any of the Apache Local Communities (ALC)
in Beijing or Shenzhen?
3\. I think it’s one thing to help users adopt pulsar. It’s something else to
discuss development and architecture.
4\. Is any discussion already happening in the WeChat channel?
Best,
Dave

We don't need to modify users' content. And it's bad to do that.
Another potential solution is that we can add the English translation
of the content after users' conversations. This would allow us to
search for our knowledge better. I wonder if such a bot already exists
for us to use.

Hi Mattison,
Good point - with OpenAI becomes well-known, we may hint users to translate
between languages, such as by using
https://github.com/yetone/openai-translator
A bot is not a good solution, though. Automatically modifying users'
content can be annoying.
Best,
tison.

We can add a bot to help translate other languages to English, which will be more useful for searching and building our knowledge database.

One one hand, it can increase adoption, as people feel more convenient to
ask questions in their native language.
On the other hand, since a lot of users are from China, you lose such a
large body of knowledge.
I see other open source softwares like Kubernetes has a category for
specific language, yet this software is globally used.
My intuition is to say no and keep growing the common language knowledge,
yet I'm not sure it is good choice if it will block adoption.
