Re: Inquiry: Full Chinese translation of LilyPond docs (AI-assisted)

Besides, since I have my own domain, it might be a good idea to host my 
own translated, independent and self-hosted version there.

It would be great if we could provide the basic template needed to make 
this easier.

This would be the opposite of a software forge, as, amongst other 
things, I would lose all the current tools for tracking changes from the 
original.
