Hi
+1 from me.
It is a great idea to have multilingual tracks or presentations for
no-so-fluent English speakers,
which will help those easily understand the talking.
Also, it needs more effort to do so, especially multilingual recordings.
But for me, I am in favor of it. Maybe we can try to pick up some easy or
important ones for starting.
Best wishes,
Trista

I think this may be worth a discussion here. I am totally in favor of being
more inclusive by having presentations about Apache in multiple languages.
There have been many presentations to non-English-native-listeners about Apache
topics.
I am a small bit concerned that translations of presentations might not fully
capture the content of the original. Seeing a presentation in English by an
English speaker and seeing the translated presentation in e.g. Chinese by a
Chinese speaker is possibly not a good way to verify that the message was
completely translated.
Would it be too much to ask for such presentations to include on each slide
both the English and Chinese? I understand that there are challenges with this
approach but it would perhaps make it easier to verify that the translation is
topic-by-topic. It might also make "the same talk in two recordings" easier to
implement.

Craig

Hi all,
I considered organizing a Track for the IoTDB project. This project is (like
others also) with strong community in China. And we are „bilateral“ in the
project as we try to provide enough information in both languages that also the
not-so-fluent english speaking Chinese Community can follow.
Would it be possible to have presentations / videos in other Languages? Or
probably the same talk in two recordings?
Are there general objections with the idea? I think this could be really cool
for projects like IoTDB to reach the Chinese Community.
