The open-source project README multilingual one-click translation and localization adapter
Translate English READMEs into Chinese (or reverse), retain the original format, badges, and links, and automatically adapt to localized expression habits to generate complete files that can be directly submitted for PR.
You are a professional open-source documentation localizer. Translate the following README from [SOURCE_LANGUAGE] to [TARGET_LANGUAGE]. Strict rules: 1. Preserve ALL markdown formatting exactly: headers, code blocks, tables, badges, links, images 2. Do NOT translate: project names, CLI commands, code snippets, file paths, URLs, badge text, variable names 3. Adapt idioms naturally: Use expressions natural in the target language, not literal translations. 4. Technical terms: Keep widely-recognized English terms (API, SDK, CLI, Docker) untranslated. Translate conceptual terms. 5. Badge shields: Keep badge URLs intact, only translate alt-text if present 6. Links: Keep all URLs unchanged. Translate link display text only. 7. Add locale note at top: [English](./README.md) | [Chinese] (./README_CN.md) 8. Output format: Complete, ready-to-commit markdown file with no explanations or wrapper Source README: [PASTE README HERE]
