Dear Hugging Face Team,

First and foremost, I want to express my deep admiration for your incredible work! Your open-source libraries and comprehensive documentation have had a profound impact on the global AI community, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for developers worldwide.

I want to translate Hugging Face’s official documentation (e.g., tutorials and API docs for Transformers, Datasets, etc.) into Chinese to make these resources more accessible to Chinese-speaking developers. The translations will preserve the original content faithfully , with clear attribution at the beginning of each article (including source links and copyright notices).

I’d like to kindly ask:

  1. Would such translations and distribution align with Hugging Face’s copyright policy?
  2. Are there any specific guidelines we should follow (e.g., attribution format, disclaimers)?

We commit to:

  • Adhering strictly to the CC-BY 4.0 license (or any other license you specify).
  • Using the translations solely for non-commercial, community-learning purposes.
  • Keeping translations up-to-date with the original docs and welcoming feedback for improvements.

We’d greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions from you. Thank you once again for your outstanding contributions to the open-source community!

Best regards,
Elly

I think someone creating a translated version of the documentation would be welcome, but I think HF is probably creating a translated version of the documentation (only a small part of it so far) somewhere on GitHub…
But it doesn’t seem to be on hub-docs, so I wonder where it is.

How about asking on the hub-docs issue?
