N/A

For the users who request Chinese documentation, could you please comment on which types of docs would help you the greatest if we localize them into Chinese [general info, api spec, language spec, guide to features (internationalization, other topics), tool docs, demos/tutorials, relnotes, api doc] . We appreciate your comments.

We would like to begin to provide *partial* Chinese documents in future J2SE 5.0 update and J2SE 6.0 releases. We cannot translate everything due to the huge word count and high cost of translation and testing.

  xxxxx@xxxxx   2005-03-07 22:57:26 GMT


After various studies and polls, we have decided to localized api doc for S.Chinese for J2SE 5.0 and 6.0 releases.

We are also looking into the possibility of open source project to work with the community to localize more documents into more languages if there is enough interest.
  xxxxx@xxxxx   2005-06-01 21:12:05 GMT
J2SE 5.0 version of API doc is being posted to Chinese developer site gradually:
http://gceclub.sun.com.cn/chinese_java_docs.html
The schedule can also be found on this page. Thanks for your patience and support.

6.0 version will be translated after 5.0 version.

Is this a joke?
If Sun cares about Chinese market, they will centainly do it. If they don't , ppl can just move to MS .NET. Why should we beg for it? Don't think Java will last any longer than 5 years.

expecting it ! I love java,many our friends likes it too.We also think Sun should like china!

Expecting!

I hope so

Expecting too!

I hope you can give more attentions to Chinese programmer!

Chinese is a Language quiet diffrence from English, provide a

Please supply us documentation in Chinese language

Hope!

Wait!

Yes,I expect that day 

I wonder why the Chinese need a translated version of the documentation - everybody else in the world uses the english version, no matter what their first language.
Is there a special reason?

Expecting!

hope by hope

MAYBE IT CAN COME TO TRUTH.

HUNGRY EYES!!!

I am french, I live in Taiwan, and I use the english doc like everybody.

What ?! Don't tell me that Chinese programmers don't know how to read english.

Everybody can translate the docs in their own language, they don't need Sun for that. China is a big country, nobody there already started the translation ? Perhaps because not a lot of people "really" need it.

Many students in colleges need this. 

Stopper !!Hei  french  man and all  foreigner  china is strongly nation,so we do not need the  release of  sun documentation in chinese. we just  proof  all man(except woman) in the world who do not know chinese 
can translate the sun documentation to chinese. 

only depend ourself..no foreigner cann't do this.because chinese belong  to high intelligence quotient..

hope SUN release a standard ZHS document and this will encourage every developer in China 

expecting it!

I'm expecting it!

I'm expecting it!

ok

Java is a kind of support multi-platform language, Chinese is the language using the most number of people in the world,  java is going to the world, why not  make a java Chinese document .
Expecting!

Please supply us documentation in Chinese language.

hope!!

good as sometime reading eng + chinese is much better

i am  Chinese.

man!  may be i will do it...wait for me...

Please localize it into Traditional Chinese (Taiwan). Thank you!

japan will disappeared tomorrow , not so appreciate japanese , wisely Sun Co.tld

please supply us documentation in Chinese language!thanks

China is a developementing country and it's IT technology develops even faster!
microsoft  cor. in China  receive fund and  person with ability that they needed,but SUN microsys. don't find this marcket!

Expecting!

Strongly Hope

I hope so

hope so

Yes, yes, Sun must localize its docs into Chinese. China is the strongest, Chinese is the most. Our country border spreads to where our Chinese people inhabits. If we want, we can conquer all the East Asian countries within serveral days. Our economy are going to catch up with American and will go ahead of it. Ha ha

Our people, our culture is number one. Why we need English?? 

Sun must localize its docs into Chinese

I like java,like most of chinese java programer. I stangly ask you provide chinese document becose It will banifit both us and java.

hope

Strongly Hope

Is this a joke?
If Sun cares about Chinese market, they will centainly do it. If they don't , ppl can just move to MS .NET. Why should we beg for it?
I expect Java will last any longer than 5 years. 

Strongly Hope

dear Sun Java:
     I Strongly hope you offer a j2sdk document in Chinese to all Chinese Java developers.
    You know China is a developing country.There are too many people includes young and old people,like your develop tool--Java.So why you provided a Japanese one,but not to offer a Chinese one?

it's a hateful joke.
no having  chinese version we can accept,
but couldn't accept the fact that only has Japanese version.
I am chinese. I love chinese. but hate Japanese .

hope

i agree with the tropic!

Cant believe that there is no doucmentation in Chinese

there are about 5 billion chinese and about 200 million japanese in the world. The market of China is very large. Why don't you provide the documentation in Chinese?

It's time to think of Chinese Java-programmers!There are many student in College start to learn Java,If supply Chinese document to them,there will be more popular to use Java!

I want to use chinese documents while developing with Java!!!

I want to use chinese documents while developing with Java!!!

I need a Chinese Java Documentation.

I need Chinese Documentation now.

happy

hope

Go Go Go!!!

It's very important for us and also for sun. :)

yes, we need the chinese documentation eagerly.
you know, in china there are much more developer in this area than any other country on this planet, and there will be more and more who will be attracted if chinese documentations are available.

support

This is very important for not only Java programmers and developers, but also for millions of Java fans in China. I believe everyone would be glad to devote what they can to supporting this, if necessary. Anyway, I would like to!

we need it!

我支持，不知道你们支不支持我用中文在这里投票！

there are about 5 billion chinese and about 200 million japanese in the world. The market of China is so large. Why don't you provide the documentation in Chinese more quickly?

hope

More & more Chinese Programmer join to program by Java,It IS Necessary to Provide documentation in Chinese .

I very need it, Plz!

Waiting for docs in Chinese

i do not  know english any more, please give us a pice of chinese

Please hurry up!!!

We strongly need documentation in Chinese language!
Thank you SUN!

why next,do it now. or i .....do with MS.net

Please supply us documentation in Chinese language

I'm Chinese! China is a big market.It's a good chance to do business in China now! And there is many many Chinese people begain to use Java .I'm glad to use the documents supporting in Chinese!Thank you!

Man, I'm brazilian, why should they translate docs to chinese?  Everyone else uses english for technical documentation. This should be a low priority RFE.  Can I vote -10 and get a few extra votes for other things?

also a chinese java web site

It's necessary.

China is the biggest Market in the coming world ,I hope the chinese document will be published soon.

I suggest  that instead of putting their time/effort into translations Sun should instead provide a community mechanism by which volunteers can contribute documentation for individual languages and packages/classes/methods.  This would allow those sufficiently motivated to provide documentation in *any * language.  Also, perhaps, putting some effort into clarifying the existing contracts and removing ambiguities (in English docs) of some packages/classes/methods to make development for English speakers, and translation for others, easier.

For none English documentation, perhaps something along the lines of a database backed, vetted Wiki server,  is needed perhaps?  There'd needs to be some sort of 'usefulness' or 'vetting' system, so that not all random comments or additions immediately appear to all users.  Some sort of statistics to identify which packages are started, in translation, fully documented (or changed and needing new documentation) would be needed.  (Something like the OBOS [Open BEOS] package development /combatibility tables for example.)

Obviously, any legal or copyright considerations need to be looked at first.

Regards to Java developers in *all* languages and locales.

:)interesting

SUN, you don't want MS to defeat you, do you?

I really can't understand this. Why can't you chinese people do it yourself ???

hope 

If there is a chinese version,I will love Java more!

A decision can bring more chance of development, why don't do it?

expecting it !

I hear you, dear readers of the Chinese language. Give me the Chinese terminology for the following words, and I'll start this project myself:

7. deadlock
8. smoked duck confit with seared foie gras

"there are about 5 billion chinese.."
What?
The world population (2004) is about 6.4 billion, and the chinese population is about 1.3 billion. Are you telling me that there are 3.7 billion chinese people living in other countries? Don't think so.

On 10-SEP-2004, paul.lewis made a good suggestion. What's wrong with it?  Just start an open-source Wiki project  to translate the docs to Chinese (or whatever other language needs to be supported).

wow thats a dumb RFE
Use english like everyone

and if u dont, then dont code.

想想，有多少人用中文？？15亿！！！
如果您们为JAVA的未来考虑，想让它发展的更强大，中国则是您们的最大的一块空间。
我永远支持JAVA的中文，那怕仅仅是文档的中文化。
因为我喜欢JAVA！

Turn for the JAVA Chinese, Chinese languages, I endorse very,
If you in consideration of JAVA future, I think the china this mass space perhaps is you the best shape space, because the china have in the world 1/5 person, and have 1,600,000,000 use the Chinese, I think, if the JAVA cans make the document Chinese, Chinese languages to turn, vs you of shape is certain and big helpful, because the Chinese also like the JAVA very much.

hope

hope

With Chinese representing 1/4 of the worlds population, I think it would be fair to localize the docs in Chinese too.

We need it badly!

Please respect us!We are getting stronger and stronger!

please!

definitely, strongly!!!!!!!

need Chinese doc

Don't cares about Chinese market

I'm waitting for documentation in Chinese. My english is poor...

looking forward to 

Today these Chinese  people want Docs in their language bcos they dont understand english!!!! ..some day these guys would ask for JDK in chinese...
One of the chinese said that they can conquer East Asia in few days...I would suggest them ..you better look into and solve taiwan problem first ..defeat them first and then make such foolies statements..

thx

Aptecher all love chinese Java Doc

After reading those comments I understand why they need translations.  Man, that's the worst set of english tryouts I've ever seen!  I bet automatic translators work better than those guys...

Eager for it!

Sun,

Legend (now Lenovo, http://www.lenovogrp.com) has acquired IBM Personal Computing Division  for billion dollars.

 guanxiaofu said
"I can speak English with u ,but can u speake chinese with me?"

  Yeah, and I speak Portuguese, Spanish, English and Esperanto.  Did you see me asking for an Esperanto version of the docs?

Java API doco is very obviously taken from the javadoc in the source. At present, the documentation comment mechanism does not have a multilingual feature.

It is pretty clear that you would not want to include multilingual documentation in the source itself, so we would need a mechanism to allow one to override the text of doc comments in the source with text in an externally suupplied file.

Fortunately, the doclet API easily allows this. So what is needed is a colabarative open-source project to supply a doclet which will retreive documentation from a file (or a wb page), and a place where multilingual API documentation can be submitted and per-reviewed.

I am looking forward to it...

One really has to doubt how good Chinese programmers are given such an array of comments and God-know how many of the votes are from fake accounts.  Why should the documents be translated when these quarter-of-the-human-race can't border with learning perhaps the only truely International human language that Java bases upon?  Number of people, with neither quality nor money to backup, is just a number.  The reason to have Japanese documents is stated clearly, yet foul kept being yelled, and 4-letter comments kept being added on every week.

If the time of votting and typing comments are being translated into translating the important documents, and if Chinese people are so smart and so powerful and so united and so distaste English and so on, I think there would be a good chance we don't need this RFE long ago. 

That is, if we assume that the votes are mostly casted by different people.

If the Chinese people can't face the fact that Japan is, for now, indeed stronger then China in almost all aspects including economy, technology, military, unity, civilness, lawfulness, and many others, then there's still a very, very long way to go.

As a matter of fact, Chinese programmers may need a complete set of Chinese tutorials more then the documentations, since from what I observed that's what we Chinese people like, do we not? Sigh.

api spec, language spec, guide to features 

go go go~

btw, Sheepy, this is a software issues database, not one that files political / racist issues

API documentations are much easier to understand than other documents . So please supply Chinese documentation about general info, language spec, guide to features. Tks!

YES,I HOPE! DO it immediately!!!!!!

hope

hope

hope

I very agree provide Chinese documents in future J2SE

hope

I figure in China , most programmers "educated enough" to need these docs , are good enough to understand the English versions. I don't know a single one who doesn't.
For the voted java-lovers : just one more course to spend a little more time on , or just a dictionary , big deal ?

it 憇 the most important thing for chinese programmer

Such documentation translation could be a good place for an open source community effort.

I'd sooner see Sun focus on fixing what only they can fix -- the JVM (unless/until it is open sourced).

If Sun could provide a site, some backing and organization for a translation effort this would seem a better use of their limited resources than doing all the translation themselves.  [From Sun's perspective, where's the money in translating the documentation themselves?]

I don't think that is a bad thing to translate the documents in chinese. But, how about other languages?

How about portuguese? Or spanish? Or even French? Arabic would be usefull too!

JDK documentation is available in many languages.

Hint: check your local book store.

If there is no book in your language, write one, sell it, and become a millionaire! Easy, isn't it!

If you don't want to pay for the documentation, write it and post it on the net free of charge.

hope

Chinese market  is important.

Translating JDK documentation to Chinese is mostly useful for our devolopers. I think.

HOPE

HOPE

if there are any needs to translate java doc into Chinese version, I believe there will be many Chinese geeks can help out there,so dont think about it ,just do it dude! 
It gonna turn out with no sweat !
in honor of Chinese Magic dragon fire

hand together and Respect 

hope

I hope so

This RFE is just so stupid. I am Chinese, and I'm truly, truly hoping that Sun will NOT waste manpower on this. What next? J2SE documentation in Hindi? Tamil? What next? J2SE doc in Bahasa Melayu? Heck, those of you who want it translated, translate the damn thing already! There must be like, what, millions of Java programmers in the mainland? Sheesh. And what's up with this silly "hope", "hope", "hope" thing? It's embarrassing, dammit!

We need the jdk of Chinese version!

We need the jdk of Chinese version!

Yes, please make it open source and make whoever wants it to be translate it, translate it themselves. Please use your manpower/resources on bugs like the Design by Contract facility or the unmap method to ByteBuffer bug. Don't waste your manpower/resources on this.

Mark my words, Sun: if you concede to this ridiculous demand and provide documentation in Chinese, it's only a matter of time before hordes of Indian/Russian/Malay/<insert some big race here> programmers start clamoring for documentation in their language.

hopen dat het werkt

hoop dat het goed werkt

Chineses API  DOC,Please~~

Please~~

hope

very...very...very... hopeing...

that is a great idea for chinese guy,if this is possible the developer of chinese will be convenient for developing in java. As the leader of java-tech ,sun has the duty to realise this.

hope 1,300,000,000 people use java doc in chinese 

hope

ok

I hope Sun corporation can provide java document in Chinese両
Chinese market is very important丆there are a large amount of java lovers there両

Just do it!

thx,sun

Just do it!

this will be a great feature~~~

hope

hope oyzjin

Expecting!

why there isn't a way to add translation when you use jdk's help?
Like , "This method hasn't been translate. Would you like do it?"
Then click , go to a webpage, select language, then put the translate text on it and wait sun's verify or people's vote.

so each one can help to add some translation.
All locale and language will be done in a short time.
I guess.

if some is translated, you can find a tip near the method. like, "find the translation of your language."
Click, then go to web.

why must the api be one document?

it's ok only if there is a place we can find the trans.

Provide documentation in Chinese
