@786788808 we plan to decommission the Chinese localized documentation because it has not been updated by any Chinese native speakers in many years. I don't object to this pull request, but if it is merged, it will only be visible until we've completed the removal of the cn.jenkins.io site.

hi @MarkEWaite, I am not sure if there are many active contributors willing to do that. But it looks like there is a very big group of Chinese people who are using Jenkins. It's very possible to have a few of contributions.

@LinuxSuRen I don't have any contacts in China besides you, so I have no idea how to invite people in China to contribute Chinese language translations of the pages that have been revised since you were involved.

For example, all the installation pages on the Chinese site are wrong. They are wrong enough that they cause problems for Chinese language users. We'd rather require Chinese users to read a machine translated version (through google translate) than show them pages that are so badly outdated.

Totally understand it. It's hard for me to find more potential contributors as well. I agree with you.

Technical side note: the deployment system for cn.jenkins.io is most probably disabled since at least 1 year. If this PR is merged then we'll have to carefully re-enable it (with the associated risks related to it).

I'm just speaking about the current state of the tooling around it.

About the plan, see what @MarkEWaite said above and jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3379.

In the absence of contributors since the past years, no updates at all, this website content is old and most probably out of date hence the proposal to redirect to the existing one.

If you think you would have contacts to get the China community to help, we would be really happy!

Correct. The plan is to replace https://www.jenkins.io/zh with redirects to the English language site. The last Chinese language pull request was 2 years ago (excluding this pull request). The last Chinese language merge was over 3 years ago. Much has changed in the Jenkins project in 3 years and the Chinese translation of the site is badly outdated. The Chinese install guide is especially bad because of how much change there has been in 3 years of installation improvements.

Compare the initial Jenkins install experience for a Chinese language user that reads:

https://www.jenkins.io/zh/doc/book/installing/#linux

with the initial Jenkins install experience for a Chinese language user that reads (especially if they use Google translate to transform that page):

https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/
