Thanks Jark starting this discussion! Hi Fabian, very glad to hear that you like this proposal. As far as I know， `zh` is the language, `cn` is the territory, such as: `zh-cn` representative Simplified Chinese (China) , `zh-tw` representative Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), So i like the naming the mailing list and website as follows:
maillist: user...@flink.apache.org website: https://flink.apache.org/zh/ BTW: I completely agree with translating resources is a great way to contribute without writing source code.
